Topic Name: Generative vs. Prescriptive: Comparing Agile Scaling FrameworksTopic Abstract:
Do you wonder which Agile Scaling framework fits your organization's purpose? Why do some so-called Agile scaling frameworks revert your organization to the waterfall?

In this talk, you will learn the difference between generative and prescriptive mechanisms. Beyond the marketing gloss, the reality is that organizations struggle with scaling agile because their apporach and mental models are stuck in industrial era management thinking. The imperative to safely scale agile could not be greater, and yet we are at the precipice of reverting to plan-driven mechanisms that do not work.

This session is a master talk for seasoned practitioners, where we will compare popular frameworks, and assess them for fitness to your situation.
