You scaled your team to 60+ engineers. You installed the “industry standard” frameworks to keep everyone aligned. For a while, it worked.
But lately, it feels different. PI Planning has become a ritual people dread. Innovation cycles have turned into “dead zones.” Your teams are spending more time managing the process than shipping code.
You’re starting to become the incumbents you started your business to disrupt.
Here is how one high-growth PLM leader, ARAS Software, navigated the scaling journey with agility.
Specifically, you’ll learn how Aras continuously accelerated engineering productivity and throughput by making the right scaling choices at key points on their growth journey – introducing SAFe for initial scaling, and evolving beyond classic SAFe mechanisms when they outgrew them.
This isn’t a “polished” shiny conference case study. It’s a raw look at what’s happening in the trenches of mid-market scaleups.
