To Make Change Needed for Implementing an Agile Transition, Start at the Top

by David Spann

The key to implement agile efforts is to recognize that when you introduce new software development methods requiring involvement from other functional areas, methodology automatically becomes an organizational change initiative. It becomes an initiative all about changing how the organization works. For example, you will not be able to sustain an agile methodology very long without changing how the cross-functional stakeholders interact with the developers. Unless they buy in to the collaborative approach, the agile initiative will be short-lived.
