Scrum is one of the biggest process invention but it does not guarantee success. Even creators of Scrum accept that more than half of the Scrum implementation does not go well. Why is that? Scrum is critical but what is more critical than Scrum? Moving from waterfall model to Scrum is a welcoming change that makes people think in the right direction, however, this does not guarantee success.

If a person with ongoing back pain visits the doctor then doctor certainly suggests to do exercises or yoga to make body agile enough to get rid of pains. If that person is wise then he starts doing exercises and pain disappears. Exercises don't cure pain overnight. It requires a regular routine. Isn't it common to see pain appear again when exercises are stopped?

Kevin Thompson, a cPrime senior Agile coach, has been working to develop Agile training materials and offerings such as the EAD course, while he works hands-on with organizations attempting to make the transition to Agile development.

cPrime has coached over 30 organizations in Agile development methodology in the past two years in over 10 different industries. Their success with these organizations comes from the hands on, practical knowledge they teach their clients. Many companies attempt to transition to the Agile methodology, but often do not succeed. To learn the scrum processes successfully & make scrum work in an organization, especially at a large scale, organizations need the hands on guidance from expert agile coaches. Agile coaches can transition teams by mentoring them through complicated processes like meetings, sprints, estimation, etc. that may seem foreign to Project Managers familiar with traditional plan-driven processes such as Waterfall. Coaches also can advise executives and stakeholders on what changes to expect with the new Agile processes.
