4. Tactical vs. Strategic Scaling
Tactical Agility at Scale
How do we take an agile approach to solution delivery, regardless of the situation faced by the team?
Strategic Agility at Scale
How do we apply agile across the entire organization?
Tactical Agility at Scale
The application of agile and lean strategies on IT delivery teams.  This includes the ability to apply agile on teams of all sizes, on teams that are geographically distributed, on teams facing regulatory compliance, on teams addressing a complex domain (problem space), on teams applying complex technologies, on teams where outsourcing may be involved, and combinations thereof. 
Strategic Agility at Scale
The application of agile and lean strategies across your entire organization.  From an IT point of view this includes the majority, if not all, of your IT delivery teams as well as a the IT-level teams support activities such as enterprise architecture, operations, support, portfolio management, IT governance, and other topics.  From an enterprise point of view this includes all divisions and teams within your organization, not just your IT department.

7. Tactical Agility at Scale
The application of agile and lean strategies on IT delivery teams.  This includes the ability to apply agile on teams:
Of all sizes
That are geographically distributed
Facing regulatory compliance
Addressing a complex domain (problem space)
Applying complex technologies
Working with external vendors
Facing combinations thereof 
Every team faces a unique situation
To be effective they need to own their process and choose the best strategies for them, yet do so in a governable manner

8. Disciplined Agile Delivery
DAD Scales Tactically
Every person, every team, and every organization is unique.  Let’s find and evolve an effective strategy given the situation we actually face
Supporting strategies:
Observe your environment
Be prepared to experiment
Be prepared to evolve as the situation evolves
Teams should own their process
Leadership should support varying processes

Agile

Delivery: Agile
Delivery: Lean
Exploratory
Multiple lifecycles for teams to choose from
Program
Common, light-weight governance across lifecycles
Supports six lifecycles for teams to choose from
Choose the right overall approach for the situation you face
Supports common, light-weight governance across lifecycles
Teams will work differently, but still need guidance and support from senior management
Supports a goal/outcome driven approach to process
The process is described as 23 process goals, such as Explore Initial Scope or Address Changing Stakeholder Needs
Each goal overviews the decisions that you need to consider to be successful, providing light-weight process guidance to agile teams
Each decision point has several options to address it, and the trade-offs of each option are described
Teams can then choose the combination of strategies that make sense for the situation that they face, they’re not forced to follow a prescribed process which may not be a good fit for them

11. Strategic Agility at Scale
The application of agile and lean strategies across your entire organization.  From an IT point of view this includes the majority, if not all, of your IT delivery teams as well as a the IT-level teams support activities such as enterprise architecture, operations, support, portfolio management, IT governance, and other areas.  From an enterprise point of view this includes all divisions and teams within your organization, not just your IT department.

Disciplined DevOps
DevOps in established organizations needs to address the complexities of those environments, including the need to support many disparate teams, security, and effective data management.
DevOps in established organizations is a bit more complex – you need to optimize the flow of the entire process, not just the development/operations portion of it
