Scrum and Kanban are not enough - Agile Slovenia 2013
0 likes839 views
Scrum and Kanban are not enough to make an organization agile. Good organizations choose practices that fit their needs, like valuing individuals, working software, customer collaboration and adaptability. While common project methods focus on fixed plans, agile emphasizes adapting to changes. Scaling agile means dividing work into independent sub-products developed by autonomous teams with communication. Stickers on a wall won't help without addressing cultural and technical foundations for agility.
