Things to mind!
Understand business context and be convinced if agile will really help
Not just process change but mind/behavior change
Having a champion at management level will be of great help
Identify and understand supporters, neutrals & non-supporters
Avoid big-bang and take baby steps
Be sensitive about learning curve of audience
In case of resistance; Go beyond what you see and what you listen
Tolerance for failures; focus on winning war than all battles
Keep everyone updated of progress being made including management

Educated teams and don’t go in PUSH mode
Strengthen QA automation
Enabling CI/CD
