Got Agile?
Posted on 11/04/2008 by Rajeev Singh
VersionOne released The State of Agile Development report for 2008. A few days ago I wrote about barriers to Lean implementations, which is available here. It is interesting to see that the barriers to further adoption of Agile are not very different from those of Lean implementations. 44% attribute it to "General Resistance to Change", 45% to "Ability to Change Organizational Culture", and 32% to "Management Support".
To avoid stalling, as I read it, it is important to concentrate on the soft issues as much, if not
more. Experience and know-how of Agile technicalities is not sufficient to ensure success.
It seems that Agile has reached a point where it has ceased to be a technical challenge. Agile is now a cultural challenge. Either address the fundamental issue of resistance to change, be ready to get mediocre returns for your buck.
