Scaling Agile can leave people spending more time coordinating work than doing it. In episode 115, the ACN community examines the exhaustion that builds when new frameworks sit on top of old systems and people become the glue holding everything together. Practitioners share successes and differing views on how much consistency teams need, where local decisions help, and how organizing around products can reduce dependencies. The conversation returns to shared values, respect for people’s time, and changes we can make from wherever we sit. What are we actually trying to scale, and what is it costing the people doing the work?
