Succeeding with Agile

A Guide to Transitioning

Transitioning to an agile development process is unlike most transitions that organizations make. Transitions often begin when a strong, visionary leader plants a stake in the ground and says, “Let’s take our organization there.” Other transitions start when a team decides, “Who cares what management thinks, let’s do this.” In transitioning to agile, neither of these approaches is likely to lead to the long-term, sustainable change required. Mike Cohn explains the primary reasons why agile transitions fail and how to overcome them. Discover what is necessary for self-organizing teams to emerge and thrive and the role self-organization must play during the transition itself. Mike describes eight primary ways of getting, including Going All In, Start Small, and Impending Doom—and the advantages of each. Learn what approach will work best for you and what you must—and must not—do to succeed with agile.
