Transitioning to Agile—In a Large Organization

摘要

Change is difficult. A big organization that is set in their old ways of doing things will have big resistance to change. Transitioning to agile is one such change. There are several problems an enterprise would face when transitioning to agile from waterfall software development methodology. It might be as trivial as a team not being colocated, or it could be complete lack of trust between the development team and business partners. In this article, I will describe various problems that my team and I faced when we transitioned to agile in my previous organization and how we successfully overcame those problems and became a model team.
