Overcoming IT resistance to agile starts with addressing their concerns. Educate the team on how agile reduces silos, accelerates delivery, and improves responsiveness to changes. Highlight success stories from similar organisations to build trust. Involve them early in planning and allow incremental adoption to minimise disruption. Address fears of overwork or loss of control by emphasising the collaborative nature of agile, transparency, and realistic workloads. Provide training and tools to ease the transition and celebrate quick wins to showcase Agile’s value. Focus on agile as an enabler, not a threat, to their expertise and efficiency.
