Its transformation! But, is it though?
summary
Real-world failure rate: 73% fail for digital transformations, often because change is a bonus task, top-down mandate, and speed gains in engineering get absorbed by the rest of the value chain. Effective moves are concrete: leadership creates urgency (Andy Grove–style siege metaphor), teams use agile methods to adopt agile, charter and fund small, sequenced transitions, practice adaptive learning, and watch for artifacts like dedicated scrum rooms as evidence that change is sticking. Framework copy-paste fails.
