 The patterns for implementing Scrum at the team levels have la
 rgely been set\, but what about dealing with Agile and Scrum across multip
 le teams.  Is the answer just magical words like scaling\, or SAFe\, or L
 eSS?  What are the core concepts and successful patterns?  Is it just on
 e big group hug?
 In this session\, we will explore core concepts around 
 implementing Agile concepts across multiple teams.  The session starts wi
 th a simulation that explores distributing people across teams (which will
  actually NOT involve any hugging).  From there\, this session dives into
 :
 
 Prioritization across multiple teams
 Product Ownership across mul
 tiple teams
 Dependencies and team alignment
 Communities of Practice
 
 Communication and collaboration across teams
 The role of managers
 A qu
 ick look at scaling methods
 
 Coming out of this session\, attendees wi
 ll have an understanding of core concepts and fundamental helpful practice
 s in implementing Agile concepts across multiple teams.
