Abstract

How do you make the agile organization? Tis paper gives an answer in form of a case story from the financial software company SimCorp. In late 2015SimCorp decided to go agile on a big scale. To do so they applied the scalable agile framework SAFe. In this framework Scrum teams are working within "Agile Release Trains" providing value streams that together realize a strategic mission. At SimCorp there were more than 500 employees in 55 teams working in eight agile release trains. SimCorp has a solid track record of releasing a new version of their standard sofware product - SimCorp Dimension - every 6 months. In February 2017 a new version of the product was successfully released according to plan and now with an agile organization behind it. The paper tells the story from beginning to end focusing on the three things that made it possible to become an agile organization within a year. Furthermore the paper discusses what the main challenges were.
