Scrum Master Kartar takes a job to improve a logistics company’s adaptability. But efforts to scale Agile practices are being blocked by Mr. Cherneski, a vice president who’s organized the company into siloed pigeon holes in order to secretly make millions with a dark web shipping service. Kartar’s life is in danger. He goes underground. A spy agency hunts Kartar….
The following concepts are covered in this dramatic story: scaling Scrum with LeSS, systems thinking, organizational design, systems modeling, and how to develop a transformation plan that your organization can actually do.
