Agile methodologies have enhanced productivity for individual teams for many years, with other business units and industries recognizing the value in customer-focused agile iterations. However, challenges arise as organizations seek to scale their agile practices beyond a few teams. This white paper explores the various options for scaling agile, including Jira, Jira with add-ons, and optimizing Jira to integrate with Jira Align to support your needs.
