DESCRIPTION

Scrum is a ‘light-weight” methodology and is usually easily adopted by small organizations. However, when working with large-scale and even global organizations, Scrum adoption is anything but easy or “light-weight”. The majority of barriers to adoption, however, aren’t related to developers, development practices or skill but are rooted in the organization. This presentation explores the top 20 barriers to scrum adoption and organizational transformation. It includes a mindmap with dozens more. Contact me if you would like a full-size pdf of the mindmap.
