Now entire organizations are attempting to achieve “agility at scale,” believing that it will be a remedy for all their problems. Unfortunately, in their desire to be agile (with a lowercase a), many firms have attempted to do Agile (with an uppercase A). They have traded a goal for an orthodoxy—adopting the methods and certifications but not the theory behind them. And this is fatal. Because an agile workflow is not an operating system. The common practices of Agile development offer little advice to someone wondering about organizational structure, or human development, or compensation, or a thousand other questions that will emerge as you go. And even if it were comprehensive, you cannot cut and paste an OS any more than you can cut and paste a personality. You have to do the work.
