Where should Agile transformations begin? While organizations gravitate to Scrum, there are significant investments in adopting the mindset, pursuing support of leadership, and pressuring the corporate culture to foster the changes necessary for success. The truth is, not every Agile transformation requires excellence with Scrum. Instead, why not start where you are and consider Kanban? While still considered an Agile method, Kanban's applicability goes far beyond software development.
