Scaling Simplified with Prateek Singh Mar 18, 2024

Show notes

00:00 Intro

00:21 Scaling Simplified boiled down to one sentence

02:50 Leading with flow

04:05 Scaling flow is common sense unfortunately common sense is not common

05:09 Blockers are a type of dependency - remove them don't manage them

07:06 Focus on efficiency of flow

10:08 Prioritization is waste - remove your backlogs

14:37 Who makes decisions

20:02 One large team is better than a small team

23:10 Removing upfront planning is revolutionary

26:40 Thank you to the creators of SAFe if it wasn't for your misguided framework I would not have wrote this book.

30:35 Conway will help us design the org and Little will help us optimize it.

33:17 Going back to the basics
