Exin ASM Exam - Topic 4 Question 98 Discussion

Actual exam question for Exin's ASM exam

Question #: 98
Topic #: 4

A large company of more than 400 people changes from the Waterfall to the Agile framework. The company uses the approach of applying Scrum to all projects in the organization using an all-in scenario. The leaders are reluctant to fully commit to Scrum and there are no experienced Scrum Masters available within the organization yet. Six months later, Scrum has failed in the company. Many different applications of Scrum have been tried with varying degrees of success. The company gives up and returns to the Waterfall approach.

What is the most likely reason that the transition did not work?

AScrum was not properly promoted as a best practice and the best way to solve the problems of the
organization which created a big risk.

BThe change to Agile was not disruptive enough to provoke a real change and there was not enough
commitment to keeping the new process.

CThe company was too large to transition easily. A successful pilot project should have been done first, to be able to copy from.

DThere was no public display of Agility and, therefore, customers kept asking for Waterfall projects. The
company gave up too early.

I remember studying how important leadership commitment is in Agile transitions. If the leaders weren't fully on board, that could definitely lead to failure.
