True or False: Introducing and sustaining agile methods across a large organisation is primarily a technical challenge rather than a cultural challenge.

Correct Answer

False

Explanation

False. Introducing and sustaining agile methods across a large organisation is a process of cultural change. Cultural change takes a long time to implement and often requires a change of management before it can be accomplished. Companies wishing to use agile methods need evangelists to promote change and must devote significant resources to the change process. At the time of writing, few large companies had made a successful transition to agile development across the organisation.
