In conclusion… Agile — guidelines, patterns and practices that need to be adapted to circumstances. Agile gives us toolkit and feedback loops to converge to optimal process.

While Agile greatly helps in building products, in traditional organisation we often still need Change Management and sometimes Project Management.

In an enterprise key challenge is how to decouple teams/systems so that they can deliver at their own pace, optimize their delivery to find their optimal cadence.

Teams need to be organised around product, but often are not reflected in organisation chart.

In conclusion (continued) Effective Product Owner proxies.

Making teams self-sufficient is becoming easier through advances in virtualization and PAAS platforms, infrastructure as a software.

Focus first on adopting core practices which act as accelerators: automated testing, CI, collaboration tools, effective sprint planning.

Need to find balance between anticipation and adaptation of the system design and architecture, also applies to other non-functional requirements. They are another story.
