QuestionQ309

Mindset

A global organization is moving its IT infrastructure from traditional physical assets to cloud-based assets. Agile concepts are unfamiliar to the organization because it currently follows a predictive approach.

What should an agile coach do to help facilitate a cultural change to an agile approach?

  • A Develop and distribute a high-level summary of how agile offers greater benefit than predictive to mid-level managers and let them decide if it should be distributed to lower-level workers.
  • B Develop and distribute a high-level summary of competing vendors' product alignment and agile project execution to the product owner for approval.
  • C Develop and distribute a high-level summary of how agile offers greater benefits than predictive to all members of organization.
  • D Develop and distribute a high-level summary of how agile offers greater benefits than predictive to the organization's executive directors, and if executive directors agree with the summary, distribute it organization-wide.
Explanation

Sustainable agile transformation needs executive sponsorship because organizational culture is set and reinforced at the highest levels. Executive directors should understand and endorse the benefits of agile before a consistent message is communicated throughout the organization. PMI identifies lack of executive sponsorship as a barrier to agile transformation and states that senior executives need to communicate early and often across the organization.
