description Agile scaled approaches have become an alternative to synchronize activities and interactions between large development teams. However, these do not describe the fundamental aspects to transform/evaluate the current approach of an organization. This paper presents the harmonization strategy used to obtain a preliminary hybrid model, called SAM, to support the agile transformation on a large scale in software industries. This model has been obtained from the homogenization, comparison and integration of the common practices of scaled models like SAFe, LeSS, Nexus and DAD. The hybrid model obtained describes the fundamental attributes to take into account to start the transformation or evaluate a scaled approach. In order to do this, it establishes and describes 18 documented practices that indicate what to take into account to scale/evaluate a large-scale approach used by a software company. With the obtained results, it can be seen that SAFe, LeSS, Nexus and DAD have aspects in common, and that it has been possible to unify them in SAM; therefore, the harmonization strategy presented and the proposed model could be very useful for professionals, consultants and companies trying to transform/evaluate their approaches.

Los enfoques ágiles escalados se han convertido en una alternativa que permite sincronizar las actividades e interacciones entre equipos grandes de desarrollo. Sin embargo, éstos no describen los aspectos fundamentales para transformar/evaluar el enfoque actual de una organización. Este artículo presenta la estrategia de armonización utilizada para obtener un modelo híbrido preliminar, denominado SAM, para apoyar la transformación ágil a gran escala en industrias de software. Este modelo ha sido obtenido a partir de la homogeneización, comparación e integración de las prácticas en común de modelos escalados como SAFe, LeSS, Nexus y DAD. El modelo híbrido obtenido describe los atributos fundamentales para tener en cuenta para empezar la transformación o evaluar un enfoque escalado, para esto, establece y describe 18 prácticas documentadas que indican que tener en cuenta para escalar/evaluar un enfoque a gran escala utilizado por una empresa de software. Con los resultados obtenidos, se puede observar que SAFe, LeSS, Nexus y DAD tiene aspectos en común, y que ha sido posible unificarlos en SAM; por lo tanto, la estrategia de armonización presentada y el modelo propuesto podrían ser de gran utilidad para profesionales, consultores y empresas que intentan transformar/evaluar sus enfoques.
