Sabotaging an Agile Transformation
summary
Enterprise deployments move from 14 per year to 135 for a top project and then to 3,000 deployments in four months after adopting fast cycles that shrink a task cycle from hours to 15 minutes; mitigation techniques include the sandwich strategy (get the exec and the team on board, ignore middle managers), embedding a pod (short fixed-price engagement with training, microservices and infrastructure), and using mob/pair programming to produce usable microservices in weeks while reshaping titles, seating and oversight.
