Italiano In this webinar our fellow, Russell Hill shares the journey of an online legal services company that experienced a major outage – a ‘black week’ – due to rapid growth and technical debt. Through a series of foundational workshops and visualisation techniques, the company was able to enhance transparency, improve coordination, and reduce outages to virtually zero within a few months.
Key Takeaways:
- Challenges of Rapid Growth: Learn how the company struggled with collaboration, transparency, and technical debt as it scaled from 50 to 350 employees in just three years.
- The Power of Visualisation: See how visualising work and creating focus helped the company prioritise and complete projects more effectively.
- Agile Interactions: Discover how repurposing existing meetings and fostering natural collaboration led to better decision-making and collective problem-solving.
- Measuring Progress: Understand the importance of tracking both planned and unplanned work, and how this helped the company become more predictable.
- Continuous Improvement: Learn about the five activities – visualise, create focus, establish interactions, measure progress, and improve – that drove the company’s evolution and success.
