#Introducing SCRUM on a Very Large Scale

In this talk Markus will roughly describe how SCRUM (and with it a Lean Methodology) has
been introduced at SAP Netweaver over the last 12 months. This will cover diverse topics
like full-day "Lean Awareness Workshops" for all affected employees or setting up a
consistent process framework that accounts for the complexity of a large organization (~2000 people)
that is split up into functional units. Finally, there will be a word about how SCRUM served well to
execute the change management effort itself.

The talk will concentrate on "how change can be achieved" rather than delve into the details
of how SCRUM has been tweaked to fit into the organization.

Background: Markus was part of the "Lean Core Team" that drove the change effort. This Team itself
worked in SCRUM mode, carved out the details of the target process (how is scrum on a large scale
done) and gave full-day awareness workshops for the entire workforce.
