From an Agile Team to an Agile Organization
summary
Describes turning a traditional org into an agile organization by delegating decision authority to keep work local, keeping team sizes around 5±2, splitting units at roughly 150 people, and enforcing a three-OK rule for SQL changes. Implements tooling and rituals: dashboards, monthly exploration days, biweekly product bazaars, cross-team circles, an employee-sentiment tool collecting ~800 free-text items/year, plus strict WIP limits, before-and-after measurement, and end-to-end dependency management.
