Bas and Craig Larman are writing a book, “Scaling Lean & Agile Development: Successful Large, Multisite & Offshore Products with Large-Scale Scrum” on very large scale agile projects. You can read the chapter that covers the Feature Teams approach on InfoQ. I’m really looking forward to the book (due out in December). I read the first chapter yesterday, it has tons of good content in it, and I highly recommend reading it.
The chapter also has a great list of references at the end of it. I'm actively beginning to track down many of these resources and I'll be plowing through them over the next few months.
