Scrum - Lessons Learned

• Preparing for change: The best way to engage the team for change is to communicate the plan to move the team to the Agile model.
• Team creation: Have like-minded people with a positive attitude who can boost team morale and focus on attaining the goal set by stakeholders--an Agile evangelist on the team can't work alone.
• Collaborating with the team: One of the core principles of Agile methodology is collaboration, so it makes sense that the implementation of this approach would exude its virtues.
• Expect some hindrances on the road: Change is never easy-- making the transition from the Waterfall to Agile methodology means leaving behind a certain comfort level among the team members.
