Agile transformation brings a superior combination of highly effective, innovative, and transparent cultures; alongside frameworks, methodologies, and best business/engineering practices to deliver the highest value and achieve the next level of agility in developing and deploying software applications. However, while many transformations are successful, some do fail, and here is why.
Why do Agile Transformations Fail?
Before talking about failures, it is important to understand the difference between Agile adoption and Agile transformation. The adoption is about deploying a chosen framework, business, and technical practices with the benefit of doing Agile. Transformation, on the other hand, is about shifting the entire organization's culture, values/principles, people, business, and technical paradigms towards the next level agility—being Agile.
