WITHOUT FEAR OF BLAME, RETRIBUTION, OR
BEING JUDGED, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON
HEALING AND PROBLEM SOLVING.
¡° THE SERVANT-LEADER IS SERVANT FIRST¡­ IT BEGINS
WITH THE NATURAL FEELING THAT ONE WANTS TO

ANONYMOUS Company Case
study 2014
A waterfall shop, attempted to adopt
agile on a small scale in 2010.
The results were less than optimal
due to company¡¯s:
? lacked the necessary infrastructure
? lacked organization mind-shift
In 2012 it made a second attempt,
this time using a more integrated
approach. To start, it had
organizational support and buy-in
from the management and key
stakeholders source: https://www.agileconnection.com/article/case-study-
