Agile Software Engineering: Challenges and Best Practices for Scaling Agile in Large Organizations
Abstract
Agile methodologies have revolutionized the way software is developed, with a focus on flexibility, collaboration, and iterative delivery. However, scaling Agile practices in large organizations presents unique challenges related to team coordination, communication, and maintaining consistency across multiple teams. This paper investigates the key challenges faced when scaling Agile, including issues with organizational culture, resource management, and integration across different functional teams. Drawing from empirical studies and case examples, the paper proposes a set of best practices for scaling Agile, such as the use of frameworks like SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) and LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum). The paper also discusses how large organizations can foster an Agile mindset and overcome the barriers to widespread adoption, thereby achieving the full benefits of Agile methodologies in a large-scale context.
