Ron, this is a brilliant idea. 
And it can be combined easily with Open Space Agility way of invitation based agile adoption. I am really amazed with these amazing creativity. Thank you all.

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. FAST stands for Fast Agile Scaled Technology. The Technology portion refers to Open Space Technology and is the marriage of agile and OST.

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.

>> Hello everyone,  I have recently come across the 'Agile manifesto' and use of 'SCRUM' in software development.  There are many parallels and connections with Open Space and I am wondering if anyone has any experience in using OST within an 'agile' approach?  This may all sound bewildering (I have benefited from googling these terms and am very excited about the potential fit of OST in enabling these processes). I would love to hear any experience that may be out there in this field.  Stories?
