They are challenged when other IT teams want to use them to become Agile.The IT department is much more than a software development team and achieving Agility is not easy. The IT department is a critical enabler for the Agile Enterprise. Implementing Agile for diverse IT teams can bring useful learnings for Agile adoption in large and more complex Business Teams.This book is a brief analysis of the limitations of “scaled” Agile frameworks and the danger of using Lean practices to “scale” Agile.
