Why Is Agile So Hard To Sell? | Agile Zone

Why Is Agile So Hard To Sell? | Agile Zone
Now we have pockets of agile within large organizations... sometimes we might even have agile across entire large enterprises. We are exploring agile methods and trying to see if they can deliver on the small team promise... but in the large. The main difference with these larger organizations is that value isn't the same as it is in a small team or a small company. There is not a direct correlation between team performance and business outcomes... there is not a direct connection between what the team delivers and what we can sell to our customers. It takes the output of too many small teams coming together to deliver anything of value.
