Agile Implementation and Governance

Implementing Agile can be challenging, especially when transitioning from traditional project management practices. During the Airline Booking Project, we introduced Agile to a team that was used to a Waterfall methodology. The initial transition was tough, but by establishing clear governance rules, such as setting roles (Scrum Masters, Product Owners) and defining a clear backlog management process, we were able to steer the team towards success.
One of the biggest lessons I learned was that while Agile emphasizes flexibility, governance is still necessary. Setting clear expectations around deadlines, deliverables, and scope while allowing the team to work iteratively ensured we remained on track.

Key Learning: Agile implementation requires a balance between flexibility and governance. Clear structures should be established to ensure the team stays focused and aligned.
