Agile Development Frameworks – Part 6

Your Culture can Stymie your Best Efforts

Organisational culture will run interference on the best strategy. If your current business is all about “Command and Control”, you can imagine that introducing a collaborative team approach can create a backlash, even in your own business unit. Unfortunately, culture is very difficult to change and depends on leadership from your executives to make the change. Consider adopting Lean or Kanban in such an environment, as they are more disciplined than Scrum. You will still need to ring-fence the way you work and get understanding from the rest of the business why you are making the change. Agile is a culture, not a process or set of rules, so always be aware that you are adopting a new culture.

Consider the size of your Projects

Smaller, non-critical projects and large, complex , critical projects call for different approaches. The size of your business and the type of projects that you undertake should be taken into account when you make your decision.
