Scaling Micro Agile® (SMART) is a Swiss-made set of techniques and workflow patterns that allows scaling agile to any scale for any company/product size and number of teams. It adheres to agile and lean principles at all scaling stages.
SMART solves the multi-team agile planning problem on the fly, organizes the dependencies automatically and eliminates the late and lengthy big room agile planning – extra process (a.k.a one of Lean’s seven forms of waste). As one inheriting advantage, agile teams can work autonomously without disruption from other teams’ work or delay in delivering value. SMART enables quick integration of new changes in the product requirements and number of teams at any time with minimum interruption on teams’ works.
