Organizations are always on the lookout to cut costs and scale back when they have unfavorable reporting periods. Hiring freezes and cutbacks in training and traveling tend to be popular and convenient. These costs are tangible and easy to track. These are only marginal to the true savings they could get by removing the "invisible taxes" most organizations are paying without even tracking.
Organizations are spending valuable money on invisible costs. Cost of delay, cost of multi-tasking, and cost of meetings. In organizations running Agile, these costs are amplified due to the impact of short time boxes.
