The document discusses why agile approaches often fail in large enterprises and provides recommendations for successful agile transformation. It notes that agile fails at scale due to lack of clarity, accountability, measurable progress, structure, governance and tools. It recommends starting the transformation by defining a rational delivery system for the enterprise to improve predictability. True agility comes from breaking dependencies between teams. An incremental approach using pilots, phases and iterations is suggested. Structure, governance, and metrics are also important to support the transformation.

By focusing on the fundamentals
of agile delivery, while
systematically and methodically
breaking dependencies, we can
achieve true enterprise agility
11. We start with high level requirements that become more detailed as we learn more about the product we are building. We start with high level architectural representations that emerge toward detailed design as we actually begin developing the working product. You might think of this as rolling wave planning or progressive elaboration. The idea is that we plan based on what we know, and plan more as we learn more.
