This would require more effective communication and collaboration, being aware of what is going on at all times, keeping track of dependencies. Agile may create a positively new company culture that spreads from individuals to teams, to the entire organization. But it’s up to the people to be open to this shift in their mindset, be ready to let go of the old ways and work in Agile.
