It depends on the size of your program. The communication structures in your agile program matter. How Large Is Your Agile Program? I think of programs as small, medium, and large.

Equally as frustrating is when you work for a manager who has rules about problem solving.

That got me thinking about this problem of transitioning to agile. I don’t believe agile is for everyone in every circumstance. Some people claim agile has “crossed the chasm.” Certainly, many people are aware of agile.
