Scaling Up
Scaling Up is a business growth methodology and framework developed by Verne Harnish, focusing on helping companies scale their operations, teams, and revenue effectively. It provides a structured approach with tools like the One-Page Strategic Plan, Rockefeller Habits, and the Four Decisions framework to align teams, improve execution, and drive sustainable growth. The methodology emphasizes practical, actionable steps for scaling businesses beyond the startup phase into mature, high-performing organizations.
Developers should learn Scaling Up when working in or leading teams at growing tech companies, as it helps align technical efforts with business goals, improve team coordination, and manage complexity during rapid expansion. It is particularly useful for senior developers, engineering managers, and CTOs involved in scaling software systems, hiring technical talent, or optimizing processes to support increased demand and organizational growth.
