1970 Waterfall drawing in article by Winston Royce. He actually states he agrees instead with incremental and iterative development. Even in its very first article in 1970, “Managing the Development of Large Software Systems” (PDF), he states: "STEP 3: DO IT TWICE - If the computer program in question is being developed for the first time, arrange matters so that the version finally delivered to the customer for operational deployment is actually the second version insofar as critical design/operations areas are concerned.
1970s — Light Airborne Multipurpose System (US Navy). 45 one-month iterations. “Every one of those deliveries was on time and under budget” — Mills H. “Software development should be done incrementally, in stages with continuous user participation and replanning and with design-to-cost programming within each stage.” — Mills H.

The Three Laws of TDD. [per Robert Martin, aka Unclebob] 1. You are not allowed to write any production code unless it is to make a failing unit test pass. 2. You are not allowed to write any more of a unit test than is sufficient to fail; and compilation failures are failures. 3. You are not allowed to write any more production code than is sufficient to pass the one failing unit test. http://www.butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.TheThreeRulesOfTdd

The All Blacks are three time winners, and current holders of the Rugby World Cup, having won the inaugural competition in 1987, then won consecutive titles in 2011 and 2015, and are the 2015 World Rugby Team of the Year. They have won over 76% of their test matches and are the leading test match points scorers of all time. Their win ratio puts them amongst the most successful teams of any sport in history.

[tags: Descale, Scaling frameworks, Scrum@Scale, LeSS, SAFe, Nexus, descaling]
Scrum is inheritently scalable in a fractal way. Where useful, you can add coordination activities. e.g. Scrum of Scrum meetings or permanent Scrum of Scrum teams to assemble sub pieces or components.
Evolve gradually: Start simple. Add formal coordination only as useful.
Descale first: Consider first descaling the product & org as much as possible into autonomous teams, value streams, independent product line/division. That simplifies dependencies, coordination, approvals. Visualize an entrepreneurial/intrapreneurial unit. I'd be happy to help you get there.
Scrum@Scale Framework by Jeff Sutherland. Includes ways to scale the product prioritization and ways to scale the development teams, plus leadership's role in impediment removal. See the brief guide.
