Making change an opportunity rather than a threat, these methodologies have found a permanent place in the array of development tools that present day developers rely on. However, the industry has mostly been considering the agile methodologies apt for small projects. This has been a common debate around the world wherein many argue that agile is most effective when used for small projects. This belief has been challenged by numerous large companies that have implemented agile methodologies across their organizations. The techniques that support this vision are scrum of scrums and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). Scrum of scrums helps dividing the developers into more teams whereas SAFe helps synchronizing alignment, collaboration, and delivery for large teams. The world has had various such instances where agile has been rolled out for large teams leveraging Scrum and SAFe. Owing to the scalability associated with agile methodologies and the outcomes they intend to deliver, it's likely that in future, they will be used in projects of all sizes. Supporting this vision is Atlassian, the company being featured on the cover of this edition. Atlassian has been operating in the market for over a decade now and with its key offering--JIRA software--it supports long term planning and agile development and assures scalability as per the projects' requirements. This edition features the top 25 Agile Solution Providers that have been supporting organizations across the globe implement agile transformations and attain significant outcomes.
