Project Management Professional Practice Question

Organizational culture shapes how decisions are made, how people communicate, and how much change the organization can absorb. The Agile Practice Guide explains that culture will always influence the degree to which agile practices can take hold, and therefore recommends that project leaders tailor life-cycle and delivery techniques so they are compatible with existing cultural norms while gradually introducing new behaviors. Failing to consider culture often results in resistance and a stalled transformation, whereas aligning practices with culture creates a safer environment for experimentation and learning, improving the likelihood of successful adoption.
