Flight Levels

Flight Levels - LEANability

Flight Levels is a framework for scaling agile and Kanban across organizations, developed by Klaus Leopold. It organizes work and coordination across three distinct levels: operational (team level), coordinating (cross-team coordination), and strategic (portfolio and strategic direction). The framework helps organizations visualize work flows, dependencies, and bottlenecks across different organizational layers. Flight Levels emphasizes evolutionary change, interaction between levels, and making work visible across the entire system to improve flow and delivery effectiveness.
