Description

How does a Manager transition to the Role of a Product Owner? What happens to a Product Owner who wants to retain his control on the team rather than working on the Product? Some developers think that Scrum, for instance, brings a lot of meetings and these meetings are a waste of time. The Scrum Master’s role is not a full time role in many companies. Leadership thinks Agile can solve most of their issues without even knowing the root causes of the issues. Agile Implementation is highly dependent upon the Culture of the Organization! http://www.qconrio.com/rio2014/presentation/smell-agile-culture.html
