How many times have you heard this in your organization?
“We need more people!” “We need to scale!”, ‘We’re scaling!”, “It’s time to scale”, “How do we scale?” If you are on a management team, you might hear these statements in clandestine executive strategic meetings, or at your company Town Hall where senior executives sprout tales of expansion / growing bigger..

We better scale…”) Very few times do we really understand how we’ll do it, or even, why we should ‘scale’. In this article, I will share how to scale your organization using agile methodology, to meet business objectives, stay competitive and deliver with quality. I will also share why slapping a bunch of people on a problem, thinking that more people provides more results, could make things worse. Scaling teams require a strong base. You cannot scale on a weak foundation and it starts at the core of the wannabe ‘high-performing’ agile team. Tap below to read more.

Recent interview on Gilli's agile transformation ideology and experience
"I'm always curious about how we can collaborate and communicate better. In this often dispersed technology industry, we don't always have our development teams in the "same room" able to incubate and execute together.
