PMBOK vs. agile methods: How cultural change can become transparent

Agile methods are based on interaction, communication, and the experience and engagement of people. Social aspects of collaboration are in the foreground. All these methods require adaptability - the skill to be able to react on changes. Command-and-control structures usually will be eliminated to a great extent. In traditional environments, often following e.g. PMBOK or PRINCE2 principles command-and-control structures are prevalent although these standards go more and more towards agile principles.
