Introduction

This section introduces overarching principles for scaling agility at an organisational or programme level. These are higher-level or meta principles - the principles in other categories provide more detail.

Principles

• Evolutionary over revolutionary change
• Scale only when you need to
• Start small and scale success
• Organise around value streams
• Minimise unnecessary complexity
• Leadership supports rather than drives the work
• Optimise the system of work for the majority of cases rather than the exceptions
• Shared context improves decisions
