S02 E16 Scaling with Nexus with Patricia Kong and Jesse Houwing

52min | 12/19/2021

Description

Implementing Scrum is hard. It’s easy to understand, yet hard to implement. It’s a fundamental shift in the way products are being built. And that’s just a single team. Now imagine when multiple teams are going to work together. That provides a new array of challenges to work with.

Friend of the show Patricia Kong and Jesse Houwing join Sander Dur to discuss Scrum.org’s scaling model called Nexus. Where do we start? And what things do we needs to consider if we even need to scale at all? Find out right here!

What you’ll discover in this show:

- Doing Scrum right is the first thing that you want to do
- Alignment is key for a smooth flow
- Throwing any scaling framework across an entire department at once has big potential threats that could lead to a diminished delivery of value

Trainer, coach and tinkerer

My source of inspiration
My grandfather had a unique will to understand things and to be able to take them apart and put them back together, either in their original shape, or combine things to turn them into something new. He had been solving little life’s problems using automation long before it became a common thing. The doorbell that signaled the start a vacation full of wonderful experiments and learning now hangs in our little hallway.

My ultimate Epic Shit moment
Training people in Scrum, the agile mindset in general, quite often leads people to new insights, epiphanies and sometimes to life changing inspiration. When people contribute that specific training to be a career changing event, that’s epic.
