[OSList] Using OST to facilitate Agile process

[Ron Quartel via OSList]

Hi Kim.

I had a similar Eureka moment to you in thinking of a link between agile
and OST. Specifically around the scaling issues that you hit with Scrum. It
was during an Open Space at a Scrum Gathering conference a few years back
when the idea/realization hit me - OST is such a fantastic tool for
self-organization at scale! Eureka - why not use OST as a mechanism for the
organization of work across multiple teams!?! And from this thought I
built FAST
Agile <http://fast-agile.com>. FAST stands for Fast Agile Scaled
Technology. The Technology portion refers to Open Space Technology and is
the marriage of agile and OST.

My background is a software developer, development manager and agile coach.
I have been in the agile space since 2002. Through seeing how scrum has
being implemented at many locations, I don't believe we have solved the
scaling issues of agile and Scrum in particular. Which drove me to create
FAST.

Have a look at the website. I'd love to hear your thoughts. It's early days
for FAST and the site is still in Minimal Viable Product state.

Daniel Mezick has posted about Open Space Agile and the two systems can
co-exist. In fact I would recommend using Daniel's OSA process as a way to
invite an organization to consider FAST (as opposed to having it forced
upon them).

Kind Regards

Ron Quartel
