Not all agile transformations are successful in the same way; in fact, it’s possible to get tremendous value out of a failed attempt. A team that doesn't end up fully transitioning to an agile framework can still borrow some lessons from agile development methods to improve their processes.
Arjay Hinek has been in project management since the '90s, helping teams, companies, and even individuals apply agile as a culture rather than a process. While coaching teams, product owners, and management within small startups as well as large enterprises, he has delivered workshops, training sessions, and talks on all aspects of agile. As a CSP, Arjay is always looking for ways to help teams learn as they improve. He comments on those and other agile efforts in his blog, "So Agile It Hurts Sometimes."
