In this podcast, Venkat Vandrangi (Agile Coach - XACT, Xebia) talks about how Agile adoption based on surface-level tools and jargons is different from long-lasting true Agile transformation. For any organization, it takes a long time to reap the benefits of an Agile transformation as it requires the Agile mindset, values, and principles to be transfused across the organization - from top to bottom. In Venkat's view, just following any ALM tool and running events may look fancy outside, but in reality, it would not yield desired results and outcomes. He clearly explains the differences between these two, with real examples in this podcast.
