Abstract
Companies adopting Scrum as a software development framework often start with a pilot project and slowly grow adoption across the organization. Unlike this typical incremental implementation of Scrum, Unisys Cloud Engineering adopted Scrum throughout the entire organization at the same time. The adoption was initiated and supported by upper management. This paper describes how the effort started, provides an assessment of why this method worked, and details lessons learned that could benefit others considering this rollout method.
