  • Abstract
    This experience report outlines how the BBC went about adopting Agile and how the stickiness of Agile fared through a couple of restructures. Arguably some of the most important new media launches from BBC New Media would not have happened if it were not for the Agile techniques used however there has been a very real feeling within the organisation that way of doing things has been under threat. I hope to address the issue of whether an Agile culture is fragile and why it might slip back into a former more familiar way of doing things even if this is not intended and begins to erode the ability of the organisation to develop and release good quality software.
