Discover a great Kanban case based on acts of leadership, autonomy, courage, and a small dose of trickery. The IT area of a large bank present in Brazil is one of the world’s biggest cases of agility, with more than 200 teams and 5000 people directly involved. Until the beginning of 2017, the projects used Scrum (70%), Waterfall (30%), in addition, architecture, security, support teams, and others without a specific work model. Agile Coaches identified teams where Scrum was not “Fit for Purpose” and the Kanban Method emerged as an alternative path to Agility.
