“…Scrum is designed to minimize meetings and reports as these are the largest source of waste in most organizations. They significantly reduce process efficiency [28], which radically reduces throughput. Systematic, a large consultancy in Europe operating at CMMI Level 5, implemented Scrum and cut project costs in half [29].…”

The conventional wisdom of many Agilists is that Scaled Agile and Scaled Scrum are incompatible. This was tested in 2018 when Rocket Mortgage used a Scaled Agile model to organize 2,000 of their 26,000 team members into teams, and the teams into collections of "release trains" centered around business value streams. The Client Marketing Release Train then took the Scaled Agile model that all release trains were implementing and layered Scaled Scrum with DevOps practices on top of it. By doing so, they reduced the average feature cycle time from 83.7 days to 11.6 days and increased feature delivery by 721% with higher quality. Here we describe the tools and techniques they used to deliver more than twice the value at half the cost.

The paper examines the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on operational effectiveness of parcel delivery sector companies operating in Lithuania. As demand of parcel delivery sector‘s services has increased, it is important to find out whether the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on operational effectiveness could be considered as positive even though the sector faces difficulties related to parcel delivery. The aim of the research is to evaluate the efficiency of parcel delivery sector companies operating in Lithuania during the COVID-19 pandemic. After the literature analyses, it was decided to examine the financial statements of 27 parcel delivery companies during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021) and before the pandemic (2017-2019). During the investigation the impact of pandemic was analysed using the methods of correlation, regression, and logistics analysis. The main purpose of correlation analysis was to find connections between variables and by regression analysis to find causality between dependent and independent variables. The results of pandemic ware compared with results of pre-pandemic. After this, the results of pandemic have been applied in logistics analysis in forecasting process. Overall, it became clear that during the pandemic operational profit was more effective and costs were less effective comparing with results of pre-pandemic. In addition, the results of logistics analysis showed that there is a possibility that in the future operation profit will be ineffective and costs will be effective.

Local self-government has the task of enabling stable economic development, in addition to enabling a normal quality of life for citizens. This is why the state government should provide guidelines that will improve the local business climate, and by doing so enable local economic development. This can be done through the introduction of a business-friendly certification procedure, which is influenced by uncertain inputs and influences many output factors. Each local government has the important task of determining its rank of efficiency in this process. A number of methodologies developed to solve this problem are generally divided into two groups: Parametric and non-parametric. These two groups of methodologies could provide quite different results. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to create a model using both approaches to achieve a balanced symmetrical approach that produces better results than each approach individually. For this purpose, the paper describes a multicriteria decision aid-based model of optimization to evaluate the effectiveness of this process, integrating classification, data envelopment analysis, and stochastic frontier analysis, as well as its application in a case study of business-friendly certification in the Republic of Serbia.
