Most organizations view Agile as a way the delivery teams produce working software.

We will never get true business agility unless we can impact how product marketing and strategy work, strategy articulation and delegation, budgeting and funding, technology and architecture, compliance and controls, talent and culture, and of course, leadership and management style.
