Top-Down Support Is Essential For Wide Scale Agile Adoption |
 |

Many Agile projects start as grassroots, often surreptitious,
initiatives. When successful, team members do their best to publicize
their accomplishments and use the project as a baseline on which to
launch others. But it is unlikely that these projects can lead to
company-wide adoption without support from above. Management from both
the business and IT sides of the house must buy into these new ways of
building software and must understand the essential differences that
Agile processes espouse. Top-down adoption is not about imposing Agile
practices from the top down - it's about support from upper management.
IT organizations that achieve this level of support are the ones that
successfully deploy Agile processes across a wide range of business
projects.
