Agile Outside IT Companies & Departments: Real Stories of Transformations
summary
Agile and Scrum practices were applied outside IT—in retail, publishing, banking, distribution and government—by introducing visible Kanban boards, one‑week iterations, mini‑demos and cross‑functional squads. Concrete cases include Intertop reporting four people completing 196 tasks in two weeks, publisher Nash Format organizing editorial squads with weekly planning, and measurable progress in projects at Prozorro and Amway, while one distribution company initially resisted and later gave up.
