Story

The Packaging Material organisation at Tetra Pak, was in need to transform it´s operations, towards a more innovative faster paced approach. To do this they decided to work with an Agile Coach, Jonas Harris, from MEQIFY. A transformation team was formed, co-lead by Jonas and a Tetra Pak employee, training and coaching the first few Scrum Team pilots. When observing successful development of those Agile teams, the next step was to scale Agile, inspired by the SAFe framework, but still in a pragmatic way merge with Tetra Pak operations. Three Agile Programs was formed, including launch of total 14 Scrum Teams. Jonas was embedded in the three Program Teams to coach them stepwise in maturity, while deploying scaled methodologies such as Portfolio management, Program Backlogs and PI Planning.
