We only offer the pieces (patterns) for modeling, but the modeling should be done by people in the organization. We cannot do that for them. Like LEGO offers 4,000 different types of LEGO blocks, but *you* are the one who should use (some of) those blocks to make something unique in your context. That's not LEGO's job; that's your job. And you're not supposed to use all 4,000 types. You only use what you need. Of course, like LEGO, we can inspire people with some (simple) examples of the things you could be building. That's what case studies are for. #unfix (less)

We believe this is hard as long as all the good patterns are spread out across different methods and frameworks. It is difficult to do a bit of Scrum, a bit of Team Topologies, a bit of ShapeUp, a bit of the Spotify Model, and so on. The visuals and terminology are all different across those various models. By offering a shared language of reusable patterns, we hope it becomes easier for people to create context-specific methods so that they don't have to start by "implementing" and then adapting off-the-shelf scaling frameworks.(less)

A Wicked Framework for Wicked Problems

A wicked problem is a complex issue that is difficult to define and has no clear solution. It often involves conflicting stakeholders, incomplete information, and interconnected challenges. Wicked problems emerge in systems loaded with uncertainty. We can begin taming wicked problems when we understand at least six kinds of uncertainty.
