In this deck, Asanka explores the challenges of enabling integration agile teams. The shift from CoE to a Composable Enterprise requires organizational change. Agile teams are fundamentally self-organizing and we will explore what that means, how to enable it, and what the boundaries of a self-organizing team should be.

13. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-
organizing teams.
The Agile Manifesto
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors,
developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace
indefinitely.
Deliver working software frequently with a preference to the
shorter timescale.

38. Everyone is on a journey towards agility
Integration agility needs to catch up with project agility
This means a shift towards enabling integration agile teams
Reaggregating with a decentralized architecture and self-organizing
teams creates a composable enterprise
Flow metrics allow you to understand health of transformation
