Scaling your Agile organization seems scary. The Scaled Agile Framework looks complicated, and training is expensive. The Agile Mothership is a light-hearted but serious, simplified outline for organizations hoping to move to the Scaled Agile Framework - with focus on the program level of SAFe. With details about what a program team has responsibility for within the agile organization, to how important holding that program level accountable to the delivery teams' success. Use this book to help translate some of the more complicated concepts of agile and SAFe. The Agile Mothership uses non-software examples (like PB&J sandwich making) and other analogies to make sense of program responsibilities, the importance of great Epics / Features, the easy science of prioritization and much more.

Chapter titles include:

Is it REALLY a defect?

Prioritizing: It's a science, not an art.

Step by Step: Do Things in This Order First. Ignore Those Other Blogs.
