Agile Transformation - Is that how you become Agile?

Agile transformations promise quick change that will make your organization into a powerhouse of people doing things that are Agile. But is that really how teams become Agile? Can you really transform people to create agility or is being Agile about something that requires something deeper? Watch this cartoon to find out.

I've published a book called "Starting Agile" that is designed to help you start your team's Agile journey out right. You can buy a copy from Amazon, but I'm giving free copies away to my subscribers from YouTube. You can signup for a copy at this link:

This is a great teaching point, Mark. It is one that I think most legacy organizations miss when they are try to “implement” agile principles.

Mark- This is very true! Love this video. I sent it to some of my peers. We are on a journey now at our company.

Keep making more videos like this explaining agile. Also, it would be absolutely great if you make a video for each value and principle of agile. I like the analogies though! ☺️

We need to take into account that workers who are not naif will distrust any change a company proposes. They are right because they know from experience that in a lot of cases the change will only be apparent, not substantial. Moreover, if we try to promote face-to-face interactions in an environment that is toxic and where competition prevails, the interactions will be hypocrite and harmful. No real improvement will happen.

Documentation was one of my most dreaded tasks, when I was a programmer.
