The document compares an agile transition approach to a traditional approach. The agile transition approach involves high-level planning followed by detailed planning and knowledge transfer between subject matter experts and teams in a shadowing process over multiple sprints. In contrast, the traditional approach involves upfront high-level and detailed planning, with knowledge transfer of specific tasks to functional areas all at once before sprint planning begins.
