Abstract :
A macro view of an enterprise transition from the point of view of a coach in the trenches. What brought about the transition that this group undertook, previously described in"Letters from the Edge of an Agile Transition?" What was the ecology the team metamorphosed in? Follow me as I uncover the answers to these questions and more. Read how a high level sponsor set out to alleviate the pain of an organization. Hear some of the details that lead him to champion that change. Find out how the organization continues to learn and grow now that the beginning of the transition is over.
