The Agile Scaling Framework is designed to facilitate the application of agile methodologies across larger, more complex projects involving multiple teams. It aims to synchronize workflows, maintain alignment with business goals, and ensure consistent delivery of high-quality products. By scaling agile practices, organizations can manage larger projects more effectively, fostering collaboration and adapting to changes swiftly.
