The document compares different approaches for scaling agile, including SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), LeSS (Large Scale Scrum), and program/portfolio Kanban. It notes that most experts agree teams should only scale when they cannot effectively divide work. When dependencies exist between teams, options include SAFe, LeSS, or using a program/portfolio Kanban approach to visualize work. The document asks questions to help determine the best scaling approach based on factors like guidance needed, agility required, and leadership commitment to change.
