What is it about?
Large programs and projects require much coordination, especially if there is high uncertainty on how tasks should be performed, if tasks depend on other tasks, and if many people are involved. Knowledge-work in large programmes is often challenging to organise. This article describes how coordinaton was achieved in a large software development programme using agile development methods, with 12 development teams.
