How to Successfully Transition from Waterfall to Scrum

Moving from Waterfall to Scrum has a huge potential payoff. This blog outlines an approach & links to specific agile transformation steps for your success.

One of the most common conversations I’ve had with clients over the last few years is how to move from waterfall to Scrum. They want to understand the agile transformation steps, or, how to move from traditional development to using the Scrum Framework.

Based on those discussions and years of experience leading and supporting these transformations for my clients, I’ve compiled this short guide on planning and executing an agile pilot or an agile transformation in your organization. In it you will see the agile transformation steps clearly identified.

Making the change to the Scrum Framework is not simple. Many organizations have tried and failed. In the downloadable guide, I’ve outlined some of the patterns that have led to success as well as pointed out some of the common traps that others have fallen into.

Though there is no one perfect pattern, by following these guidelines and running small experiments, you too can successfully navigate the change from what you are doing today to success with Agile and Scrum.
