DESCRIPTION

It’s common to see an organization (the people in them) focus on building products with as many features as possible and targeting delivery by a specific due date. Yet, often the result is missing the date while ignoring important goals demanded by the businesses such as high levels of product quality, development productivity, planning reliability, employee satisfaction, and customer loyalty. Retrospectives, if done after such an occurrence, surface the dissatisfaction concerning missed dates, poor quality, technical debt, and more, still frequently this pattern repeats.

Scaling Out – Engaging Across the Portfolio

• Cross Appropriation• Catalog the ideas from each implementation• Use the ideas in each new implementation• Do not assert the ideas into the implementation

• Reconfiguration• Change ideas from you catalog to be appropriate in your new

implementation• Articulation

• Document and report out how the ideas have changed• With each new business you are starting over without starting from

the beginning
