Abstract

Many IT departments seek to capitalize on the
generally accepted benefits of agile development by
scaling agile practices. To manage the complex scaling,
established approaches and frameworks promise
guidance. However, although existing works envision a
clear target state, they lack to provide relevant
capabilities along the scaling process, especially for
vertical scaling. These capabilities are highly needed by
managers to assess their company's status quo and
develop a clear scaling roadmap. Thus, within this
work, we develop an agile scaling maturity model that
provides management with a tool to assess relevant
organizational capabilities along the scaling process in
five maturity stages. To evaluate our model, we applied
it at KUKA IT, the IT department of an international
provider of automation solutions. As a result, this work
provides insights into the application and outlines how
IT departments can operationalize and utilize our model
to guide agile scaling.
