Leadership to avoid the pitfalls
Successful Adoption Begins With Experience
There are always forces in a company resisting change. Scrum certifications simply warn of these impediments but do nothing to address them. Scrum teams dig in their heels but come across as anything but Agile. It takes a true agile leader with experience to work with both business and IT teams to produce expected results while keeping everybody engaged and positive.

roll Out Immediately If Not Sooner
You do not need months of training and planning to roll out agile in your organization. Scrum is a very light weight and powerful agile framework you can rollout fast and continuously improve upon without looking back. Jeff says, “In the time most spend talking about how to roll it out, you could already have it in place.”

Deploy Tool Changes Overnight
Jeff once waited months to start the first sprint, while a vendor run team stood up Jira. What was delivered was unusable. His scrum leadership team stood up a new instance overnight and the first sprint was off and running. Keep Azure DevOps and Jira light and simple for scrum. You will know very soon what critical pieces you need to add. Wait a quarter to revisit everything else

Do not Be Trapped by Process
Scrum was designed to adhere to the values of the Agile Manifesto, including Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools and Responding to Change over Following a Plan. If development teams are immovable in some aspects of scrum, they need leadership to show how they can compromise in the spirit of agile and still towards continuous improvement.
