The Organization is managed by a group of managers, the Organization Management Circle (OMC)
The Portfolio Owner, the Portfolio Architect and the Organization Scrum Master form the Organization Management Circle (OMC). They support and complement each other in the decision-making of topics that reach their level or have been escalated to them by one of the three groups they represent (CPOG, CSMG, CSEG). According to the principle of local decision-making, most decisions are made at the Team and Cluster levels and only a small proportion escalate. These constructs effectively prevents “lonely individual manger decisions”, because decisions are previously examined and discussed from all three directions, and thus effectively balanced. Tools for finding this balance are e.g. Balanced score cards, SWOT analyzes and system FMEAs are used.
The Organization Management Circle forms an interdisciplinary group of managers who, like all other groups and teams, hold daily or weekly Sync meetings and Retrospectives.
Other management roles complement the Organization Management Circle depending on the type and orientation of the organization, eg. a Chief Financial Officer or Chief Legal Officer. Often the CEO of the Organization is leading the OMC.
