Project sponsors are like powerful tools - when engaged effectively they can clear seemingly insurmountable barriers and pave the way to success.

Setting up empowered communities of practice and encouraging knowledge-sharing via practice/knowledge hubs are critical elements to success.

A truly agile organization is a learning organization continually refining and improving all its practices.

Change is constant and a sustainable agile transformation harnesses practices to embed and sustain an agile program.
