The article „Agil zu werden ist nicht schwer, agil zu sein dagegen sehr...“ (in engl. "Becoming agile is not so difficult but staying agile can be...") by Marion Eickmann was published in the magazine www.objektspektrum.de on October 20th, 2011.

Becoming agile is not so difficult, but staying agile can be. The introduction of agile practices such as Scrum and Kanban may seem simple at first glance, but is not trivial. The reason for this is that the transition to agile methods are not only changing processes within the company but also the "mindset" of all participants. Teams have more responsibility, management style will change from "Command and Control" to "Agile Leadership" and also the strategic management has to support "Agile Change" with the right communication strategy. But how is it possible to introduce all these changes successfully? The answer is coaching. Only targeted, role-based coaching that simultaneously incorporates the strategic direction and the new processes, leads to sustained success.
