We scale for many reasons. The main reason is that in large organizations like the MTA, more than one team is often required to build something new, and we need a way to bring the right people to the conversation at the right time. We also need a way to discuss what is necessary to satisfy the request.

You may have heard the term System of Delivery (SOD) mentioned lately. But what is the SOD? The short answer is that the SOD is the system of Governance in our new ways of working in a Product Model, that contains all the people and processes we’ll use to deliver work to our customers.
The journey toward a new way of working will require many people working together to achieve MTA’s lofty goals for Product Evolution. But we know that not everyone can focus on the entire transformation at once. Even if they could, it wouldn’t be a great idea. There’s too much to do.
Two additional Encore micro-learning sessions are available in our MTA Micro-Learning platform. Both sessions will cover content related to Dealing With Dependencies. The courses will focus on two primary areas, how to coordinate work across teams who are working together to deliver to a customer…
