The proliferation of Agile Release Trains (ARTs) within large IT software delivery departments has resulted in a complex and challenging landscape.
The growth of networked ARTs has led to two primary complications: exponential growth of communication complexity and lack of alignment due to conflicting priorities.
The increase in communication pathways as the organization scales makes clear and efficient communication difficult, leading to delays and misunderstandings.
Without a unified vision and strategy, individual ARTs prioritize their local objectives, which can conflict with the overall strategic goals of the organization.
