Question 6

A large company of more than 400 people changes from the Waterfall to the Agile framework. The
company uses the approach of applying Scrum to all projects in the organization using an all-in
scenario. The leaders are reluctant to fully commit to Scrum and there are no experienced Scrum
Masters available within the organization yet. Six months later, Scrum has failed in the company.
Many different applications of Scrum have been tried with varying degrees of success. The company
gives up and returns to the Waterfall approach.
What is the most likely reason that the transition did not work?

  • A. Scrum was not properly promoted as a best practice and the best way to solve the problems of the organization which created a big risk.
  • B. The change to Agile was not disruptive enough to provoke a real change and there was not enough commitment to keeping the new process.
  • C. The company was too large to transition easily. A successful pilot project should have been done first, to be able to copy from.
  • D. There was no public display of Agility and, therefore, customers kept asking for Waterfall projects. The company gave up too early.
