Game without Thrones Workshop – An overview of xScale
September 26, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm UTC-4
Space is limited to the first 60 attendees, so please only sign up if you’re committed to come. We expect to have a waiting list.
Due to over an overwhelming wait list the first time, Agile ATL is thrilled to host an XSCALE Game Without Thrones event. GWOT is one of the most exciting and innovative Agile practice patterns being taught today. It shows how to de-scale decision making while maintaining cross-team alignment — but without resorting to command and control – by instead using practices originating with the Iroquois Nations.
Jeremy Pullen, John Badgley and Rob (Gordo) Gordick will lead an immersive hands-on de-scaling Lego workshop with no masters, no owners, no hierarchies, and no command and control. This is pure self-organization across multiple teams and streams driven directly by business constraints and quantitative metrics.

About XSCALE
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
XSCALE Alliance is the Linux of the agile world, an open learning ecosystem of prominent independent coaches and consultancies evolving an open-content alternative to the “Agile Industrial Complex”. This alternative takes the form of a principled pattern language, not a framework, for self-directing portfolios of self-managing streams of self-organizing teams – a “de-scaled” organization in which all feedback loops are tight, all meetings are small, and all decision-making is face-to-face.
