Identify and communicate ideal attributes:

  • 50/120 people?
  • Stable teams
  • Independent from external ARTs/ groups

Identify tools

Experience: The bigger the ART is , the most likely is a full value stream but the more complex it becomes to organise.  

 Ideally, also on experience, we should start with one ART and focus on that launch.
