What is the Enterprise-Class Agile-at-Scale course about?
When companies acquire new units, their agile frameworks rarely align. Differences in rituals, tooling, planning cycles, and team autonomy create friction that slows integration, increases delivery risk, and erodes ROI. Without a structured approach, leaders default to mandates or prolonged coexistence, both costly and unsustainable.
