This document discusses adopting agile practices at a large company like John Deere. It describes scaling agile with over 9,000 employees across multiple product lines managed by a product management team. Epics, features, stories and tasks are planned at both the portfolio and release level. Training was provided to over 100 employees in scrum and over 800 in release planning. Metrics showed improvements in issues resolution time, warranty expenses, time to production, being first to market, and employee engagement after adopting scaled agile frameworks. Challenges addressed included commitments, quality, integration, technical debt, practices and frequent small releases.

Editor's Notes
- #4: worlds population is projected to climb from approximately 7 billion today to more than 9 billion by 2050.To put it bluntly, our world has a problem. We must double the food supply double what we produce today in the next 40 years, and do so in a sustainable manner if we are to feed tomorrow's global citizens.Consider that by the time I finish my remarks this morning, about 4,500 people will have joined the ranks of the global population. That's 9,000 new inhabitants of the earth every hour!
- #5: 30 percent more mouths to feed
- #7: we must double output with basically the same amount of land, water and other inputs such as fertilizer.Agriculture will be called on to produce more food than in the previous 10,000 years, with little or no increase in resources.Many people don't realize that much of the world's productive agricultural land is already in use. While incremental acreage can be brought into production, it tends to be less fertile, more costly to farm, and often less suitable for sustainable agriculture.
- #8: Clean water is also becoming increasingly scarce both for urban and industrial needs, as well as for agriculture irrigation. Water scarcity already affects a significant portion of the population on every continent. Expanding industrialization and urbanization further increases the competition with agriculture for available fresh water.
- #11: For example, you might be surprised to learn that today's large JohnDeere tractors have more lines of software code than early space shuttles!In fact, our GPS technology can guide a tractor and implement in the field with near-perfect precision. This means less overlap in tillage and chemical application, saving time and money and minimizing environmental impacts.
- #26: R&A 2.2% -> 1.7%Time to Product Decrease 20%Employee Engagement 71% -> 78%
