summary

Claims agile yields 4–6x improvements versus a McKinsey 13% baseline, and teams run two-hour cycles with continuous delivery — one client ships 135 deployments in 2018 and triples that in 2020. Mitigations are concrete: use a pod for an eight‑week engagement (five weeks fixed price), train pair programming and TDD, build a C# microservice framework in days, change titles to a competence model, rearrange seating, secure an executive sponsor, and ignore or replace active gatekeepers who hoard knowledge.
