Topic Overview: Le(t)go your organization!: Analysis of Organizational Design using “Whole-team Dynamic Organizational Modeling
In large geographically distributed organizations where the size of the product exceeds what a single Scrum team can build, we think through the best way to organize teams and work. Over the past year, we have been working with large projects (over 100 people), distributed in several countries and helping them develop organizational models that they can use to visualize how teams and work could be best organized to maximize agility.
In this workshop, we guide the participants through the process of assessing and developing large organizational models. The models provide business stakeholders with a tool to assess the trade-offs of different organizational models visually and rapidly. Whether you are responsible for building a large scale global Agile organization, or are a team member with ideas on how to organize teams and work, this workshop provides you with tools to develop organizational “preto-types” to use for communication and troubleshooting large-scale Agile organizational design.
In this session we will build a backlog of organizational structural impediments – and then we will model the proposed fixes. The modeling will be done using Lego bricks, pipe cleaners, among other provided modeling tools.
