Manifesto for Agile Software Development says..
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.Through this work we have come to value:
How can we apply all these practices other than Software product development ? Will there be any changes?
Agile disrupts business models, culture, hierarchies, and operations.
According to a report by Tata Consulting Services (TCS) , the responsive enterprise can “shift rapidly to where customers want it to go next—the next buying experience they want, the new innovations they desire, or the new way they want to do business with your firm altogether.”

Everybody needs to adapt to stay relevant into the business.
In a rapidly changing technological and business environment, we are under constant adaptive pressure to evolve.
Agile has secured its place within the software development community where it originated and evolved, and now Agile is spreading into many other areas of the professional workplace.

- We had several brainstorming sessions and design the new change process
- We created several community of practices, Core group to drive these change process
- We had conducted Agile day to pass the message
- We had published newsletter to share what is upcoming and some thoughts
- Take care leadership team and get along with them in the transformation journey

- Inspect and adapt this process
Change occurs on two dimensions: the organization and the employees. Change can only be successful if the change takes place simultaneously on both dimensions.So we have taken care all these 2 dimensions.
