i recently became certified as a PSM. i work in an IT org who hasn’t yet adopted scrum. i work on a portfolio management team and one of our initiatives is to convince and guide the leadership to adopt a full agile/scrum transformation. i am on a personal mission to equip the teams with scrum values and scrum principles in small ways with every interaction. What i’m up against is a culture that works with a project mindset not a product mindset. the leaders and stakeholders are more concerned with meeting due dates and overlooking the importance of quality and speed of delivery. what advice do you have?
