Annotation
Agile & transformations: Why and how
What about your organisation? Are you doing Agile and struggling to get real benefits. Are your trying but not able to get into real end-to-end delivery?
Do you want to work Agile but does the business not get along? Do you want to do Agile but your IT is excluding you?
Agile itself is basic and easy to apply, so it seems. Still so many people and organisations struggle to get real benefits, to do real end-to-end delivery of production viable requirements, to read deliver better business value, to really deliver earlier. What is the underlying cause and how to solve it?!
