NEC - From Project Chaos to Predictable High-Throughput Flow
How NEC moved from project chaos to predictable high-throughput flow by combining SAFe structure with Kanban-based flow management.
The journey for NEC with Scrum, Kanban, and agility illustrates the effectiveness of these practices in transforming complex, real-world environments. By starting small, defining their products, having greater focus by having teams understand what their products were, and engaging leadership in transparent decision-making, NEC addressed immediate operational challenges and laid a strong foundation for sustained growth and innovation. Being pragmatic and approaching their agility journey with an agile mindset was key to enabling this sustainable, sticky change in a hectic, high-stakes operational environment.
Check out NEC’s agile journey in this recent episode of the Scrum.org Community podcast, where Scrum.org’s Dave West interviews Steve Lizotte, VP of Engineering at NEC, and Yuval.
