Ex-Project Manager, ex-Line Manager, ex-SCRUMScrum Master, and ex-POProduct Owner here. 🤷‍♂️

A picture says more than a 1000 words, so give this to management and ask them if they want to risk business continuity planning by overloading your team beyond a division by 0:

Busy versus wait

Ii.Ee. Does upper management want to risk the entire / partial / ... business ¹ when a disaster happens and your team will not not be able to cope with extensive business fall-out???

  • If not based in the US of A, mention Ee.Gg. "COVID-19" and the last major outage in your company.
  • If based in the USA: mention 9/11 and companies having their Disaster Recovery site being in the other tower and going out of business because of that decision and your team being within one of the two towers!

Note 1: depending on the business criticality your application / framework / ... represents, ensure you make the number big! E.G. if you're a core framework team, make it about the total turn-over of the entire company!

What is the best way to implement agile in these circumstances?

As mentioned by other people already: You want to, but you cannot! 😢
