Description: Scaling Agile is sooo EASY (in theory!)

Now that most organizations are in some stage of their Agile Transformation journey, many have found the need or have already attempted to scale Agile throughout their organization.  As most have found out, there are a number of scaling frameworks to choose from, different approaches, different theories, and more than anything; full of challenges to do so effectively in their organization. 

Join me in a discussion around popular frameworks, their pros and cons, as well as common challenges organizations deal with when trying to scale and some ways overcome them.
