Companies break that old familiar failure feeling by getting and staying Lean and Agile

Why do so many organizations opt to fail in a familiar way instead of learning and adapting?

With over 25 years of experience applying Lean and Agile techniques to software development, Brendan Best offers an experienced perspective. He’s set his sites on a prevalent issue within product and software organizations: a deeply ingrained resistance to change. Best observes a troubling commitment to familiar yet ineffective processes. “It’s concerning to see adherence to practices that have a proven track record of way more failure than success.”
