• 1st line of defence is protecting the teams
• 2d line of defence is protecting project/
program
• 3d line of defence is protecting the
organisation.
• Protecting doesn’t mean micro-managing,
it means to ensure that the line is a safe-
to-fail container strong enough for safety,
flexible enough to evolve and adapt to
team needs.

• let’s assume this is for a project
• let’s assume that we will try to follow more
agile rules than a strict scrum
methodology just to put the methodology
out of the debate
• scrum teams should be able to interact
with each other in a scrum of scrums
manner
• customer, SMEs, sponsor should be close
enough to leave required informations
but not too close to avoid disruption
• Product Owner and Scrum masters are
buffering the relation between delivery
teams and stakeholders
