Matt,
I'm not interested in how the work gets organized - i'm interested in
knowing if anyone has been successful with a team of 40 developers
organized into scrum teams.
I'm more interested in how other people have made agile/scrum work
with this size group (or larger) in the context of external
enterprise software development than I am in how my company is
organizing it our context.
