Challenge

How do we explain the difference between being agile and working Agile?

Over the last 20 years, project teams and then operational teams have embraced a new way of working together. This shift—from hierarchical structures to team-based work—is unique in the history of management because it makes the transition from a top-down approach to one focused on teamwork using a pragmatic process that embraces new values, principles and beliefs.

Newcomers to the Agile course are impressed by how basic and straightforward the core concepts are.

“SCRUM is easy to understand, but difficult to master,” said Jeff Sutherland, co-author of SCRUM.

The difficulty lies in the implementation, as well as the need to change behaviours at every level of management, teams and employees.
