Agile Adoption can be very difficult. We often underestimate the ability of ourselves or others to understand and adjust to change – and it is a cultural change required in order to really be successful in adopting the agile mindset.
A lot of people are very enthused with the ideas and concepts behind Agile methodologies, but are hesitant to apply them in their current situation. I often hear people talk about the “risk” involved in moving to a new way of working.
There is danger in attempting to change the world in one step. Whilst a big fan of Agile methods, I spend a lot of time ensuring that people understand the magnitude of the task they have ahead of them, and how difficult it will be, without curbing their enthusiasm.
