FLAT: the story of an experiment moving from scrum to our new framework

Regional Scrum Gathering Tikyo 2021

This session shares the story of FLAT, a new team structure created by intentionally stepping away from Scrum’s “stable team” principle.
Faced with limited skills and multiple parallel product needs, the team experimented with a more fluid approach where members could re-team as necessary. Through this hands-on experiment, they explored how flexibility increased, what trade-offs emerged, and how their way of working evolved.

The session highlights a key insight:
Scrum is not the only right answer—your framework can and should adapt to your context.
