This is the truth.

If we turn things upside down
organizations can't truly embrace Agility.
I would be lying if I said that
we can improve our product delivery process even more.
that we can further minimize our maintenance costs and that
Teams can be self-organized, professional, motivated and deliver value,
I'm sure of this because of my experience in the field.
bureaucracy, fear of change and securing job safety is in our nature.
I refuse to believe that
Organizations can benefit from Scrum.
because of our habitual way of product delivery.
Most projects are stressing, painful and over budget,
There are even more surprises to come.
your organizations have only one destination.
Whether you like it or not

This is reality.
