Traditional scaling creates the very problems it's meant to solve!
@jamesshore.bsky.social James Shore shares why the common wisdom of carefully aligning teams and responsibilities eventually breaks down, and how #FASTAgile offers a fundamentally different approach.

Why does Open Space work anyhow? How could something so simple do so much? The short answer is that Open Space works because self-organization works. At least that is the conclusion I have reached after some fifteen years’ wondering how this little marvel manages to do what it does.

#FASTAgile
Want to crank up your adaptive / #agile capability? My advice is to ditch #scrum for something else flow-based like kanban or #FASTAgile.
Cross-fertilization: Team members work collaboratively, and the lines between specialties start to blur. In fact, some companies mandate that every team member have two specialties (for example, coding in more than one language and testing) and two domains (for example, design and marketing).
Even in early #Scrum, the founders are recommending one of the same practices #FASTAgile does - team members should be T-shaped i.e. multi skilled.

Interesting that the #Scrum guide authors suggest fluid teams! An idea core to #FASTAgile.
Also interesting is the "set of shared values" across teams (FAST Collective), to support fluid teaming.
Where did the obsession with static teams come from? The Scrum authors suggested fluid in this book.
I had fun writing a blog about the parallels between Fluid Adaptive Scaling Technology (FAST, or #FASTAgile), and Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World (the book by General Stanley McChrystal). medium.com/fluid-scalin...
Although a single team can schedule tasks together and optimize its flow internally, it becomes much harder for two teams to schedule tasks together. If a designer has to produce a drawing for team A, then her work for team B is idled until that drawing is complete. And if two people on team A have responsibilities to other teams—for example, the designer owes work to team A and the developer owes work to team C—then the scheduling problem suddenly multiplies in complexity and rapidly becomes unmanageable.
This is one of the problems that #FASTAgile is able to solve through fluid teaming.

"We did FAST - The bus numbers were gone, the dependencies were gone, the cross-learning was there. Adapting to any problem that ever came was there. It was amazing seeing that happen." - Ariel Pérez

When the circle of caring people is established, emergent order manifests, automatically, no problem, on cue.
