Taming the Moloch
summary
A large retail group with 30,000+ people and 16.2 million customers uses a threefold approach to tame its complex organization and five hundred plus interacting systems: nominate a Business Committee of one super-manager per division to consolidate priorities, replace a mythical single PO with a coordinated product owner team each owning a system or module, and split delivery into capacity buckets across 30+ scrum teams so divisions control allocated slices and buy extra capacity when urgent.
