Scrum@Scale for Organizational Success: Insights from a Scrum of Scrums Master
by Brian Hackerson | November 29, 2023 | Blog
In American football, being “ahead of the chains” means the offensive team has effectively advanced, making subsequent plays easier and achieving the goal more attainable. It’s about being on the right track, consistently moving the ball down the field to score points.
