Enabling Organizational Change through Agile Methods
Agile approaches and methods have been promoted as a panacea for long-standing problems in IT projects. Such problems may be denoted as “one-size-fits-all issues”, “failing to embrace changes in the projects”, “lack of IT-Business Alignment”. Recently, practitioners have experienced that agile methods can be used as a means to facilitate change concerning IT mind-set and practice as well. This talk is concerned with the effects of agile method on organizational change. We explore underpinnings of an agile-enabled organizational change in terms of the way of thinking and actions. To articulate such underpinnings an exemplary case is used. Reflections on lessons-learned and practical insights are to be presented as well.
