Methodologies, like SAFe, bring structure to agile transformation, but if you don't understand the underlying principles of your chosen methodology, it can lead to rigid practices that aren't very conducive to agility. ? #Agile #AgileTransformation #BusinessAgility #ChangeManagement #ProjectManagement

It's time to rethink how you're applying Scrum, acknowledge its limitations, and start seeking innovative ways to bridge the gaps. When it was introduced, Scrum provided a clear, structured framework for small, agile teams to collaborate and deliver quickly. Today, companies are attempting to install Scrum in large, complex, interdependent organizations. Scrum was never intended to be applied this way. Here's the reality: Teams often face challenges that can’t be solved within a single sprint or by a single team. When faced with dependencies and external constraints, you wind up with multiple teams working on fragmented pieces that, while individually sound, don’t roll up into a cohesive whole. The result? Scrum practices turn into isolated tasks for the teams that don’t contribute to the broader organizational goals, and often stall before delivering tangible business value. For you to transform your organization, you must look beyond Scrum. After all, agile transformation isn’t just about adding processes.?It’s about orchestrating work across multiple teams in a way that addresses dependencies and aligns the entire organization to larger business objectives. Scrum can still be valuable, but it must be adapted, layered, and supported with proactive structures that allow for cross-team coordination, dependency management, and a focus on delivering tangible business value. #Agile #AgileTransformation #BusinessAgility #ChangeManagement #ProjectManagement

Every methodology worked for someone, somewhere, at one time, or else it wouldn't have become popular to begin with. But, when it worked, it was applied in a certain context. You must always create the right context, or the right ecosystem, to get the most out of whichever methodology you choose. #Agile #AgileTransformation #BusinessAgility #ChangeManagement #ProjectManagement
