CLOSING THOUGHTS
• From the responses, we understand that the project team
(engineering, scrum master and middle management) feel agile
adoption would be better than the current level of adoption, if
we improve the collaboration, communication and ability to
change.
• Most of the members from senior management, middle manage
ment and engineering believe that cultural barrier is the main
impediment for agile adoption.
• If we, as a software agile community want to see a great value in
agile delivery for ourselves as well as for our clients and for the
end customers, then we need to focus more on the Agile Values
and Principles.
Many thanks for your support !
