Brooke
Business Executive
“I have peers telling me that adopting agile development is critical for my organization. How is agile different from the last process initiative we engaged in?”

Brooke is a VP in her organization. She’s been asked to investigate agile development. Brook has questions about why agile development is better and how her company should take on adopting and scaling up this approach. After reading a bit about agile, she’s found that “agile exposes organizational problems.” Does this mean that adopting agile will cause her more problems?
