You don’t need a framework to release a complex product. Instead, organize the work to remove the barriers to collaboration. You can create an effective agile and lean program to create and release products your customers want.
Scale collaboration, descale process, and release products that customers want.

benefit
- Ways to organize a program that enhance collaboration
