Abstract :
What happens when your organization practices Agile software development for many years? Well, you get pretty good at Agile and you are able to apply Agile with reducing effort on challenging projects. But there is another interesting outcome which is that your people internalize Agile values, so much so that Agile becomes second-nature to everyone! In this paper we will show you how our culture is infected with Agile thinking, we will show you how we apply Agile to many ldquonon-softwarerdquo development activities like training- sessions, recruitment, staffing, office reforms, strategic decision making and more.
