Seeing The Big Picture With Scrum
A common phenomenon happening in organizations implementing scrum is that something is missing – the big picture. People are saying “We used to have High-Level Designs – where are they?”, “We used to have an architecture before developing – where is it?”. The answer will usually be that as we are working with small batches we need to focus on what’s immediately coming up and so other things are getting neglected.
But this is a confusion. Nothing should be neglected. For sure we cannot neglect long-term thinking and planning.
