It’s a thinking model to help you make your own DIY agile adoption on the organization level. According to it, teams in organizations are categorized into 3 levels:
- Operations - These teams get things delivered: solutions, products, services etc.
- Coordination - These coordination make sure teams in all levels are coordinated.
- Strategy - These guys invest by providing direction and priority.
Personally I find this much more efficient than just making every team adopt Agile separately (which is what most companies usually do, especially using Scrum). The Coordination level plays a big role and getting everyone on-board if executed correctly as it will make sure people from across the teams and levels subconsciously coordinate in agile ways and it helps a lot in breaking the silos.
Very good for Agile Transformation.
