Large development teams underperform not because people lack capability, but because delivery structures are not designed for scale. In a major S/4HANA transformation, we identified critical structural gaps: An 18-person team operating as a single Scrum unit, missing governance roles, code review bottlenecks, and weak agile discipline. Each barrier quietly drained capacity. Our response focused on structural redesign: Smaller autonomous teams, dedicated Scrum Masters removing impediments, technical leads ensuring code quality, communities of practice sharing best practices and clear performance dashboards. In eight weeks: 250% productivity increase. 🔹 Before: 580 story points per sprint 🔹 After: 2,020 story points per sprint The lesson: Scale requires design. When you fix the delivery structure, hidden capacity emerges. Discover the full case study: https://lnkd.in/eu-U6dWG #RolandBerger #OperationalExcellence #Agile Daniel Rohrhirsch
