Podcast: Debate - Scaling Agile with Kalle Mäkelä, Szilard Szell, and Henrik Høegh

We sometimes see strong differing viewpoints about the means by which our customers should help themselves, and these differences extend to our customer base. To express these alternative points of view, we decided to host a debate between a few esteemed specialists. We discussed what is keeping software enterprises from scaling up, and touched upon some possible solutions.
