Introducing Flow at Scale at Vanguard

As change agents we use lots of metaphors to introduce the flow concept in our corporate environment. But what happens when you actually initiate a wide-scale implementation of flow measurement in an enterprise software development organization?

Flow is a simple concept. As change agents we use lots of metaphors to introduce the flow concept in our corporate environment. But what happens when you actually initiate a wide-scale implementation of flow measurement in an enterprise software development organization? First, we learned at the pilot level with 10 teams. Then, we learned at an expanded level with 25 teams. And then we took the huge leap to introduce flow to 750 teams! At Vanguard, we are in the midst of a journey with flow thus far moving from pilot to program and next to product. This talk will trace the steps we took along the way, the strategies and tactics we applied, and the takeaways from a front-line flow coach. As we know, flow is a simple concept, right?
