Scaling agile methods has been proven in many large companies in the US and Europe, but is still in its infancy in Australia. IBM has a long and proud history of delivering agile projects at scale. We started using agile methods almost 15 years ago, and then began our own official corporate journey in 2006 and now use agile methods across 85% of our internal development. Today, we are working with enterprises, including telcos, financial institutions and government agencies to facilitate agility at scale.

In this whitepaper we will discuss the challenges and barriers Australian businesses are facing, share our experience gained working with local and global companies, discuss key trends, and outline best practices for scaling agile within complex organisations.
