5Barriers to Change:
• The culture of an organisation• Resisting the power structure• Managers feeling threatened by
the process of change• Resistance from employees• A lack of understanding about
why change is to take place• A lack of communication or trust• Employees fearing the unknown.
The success of any kind of social epidemic is heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a particular and rare set of social gifts. - Malcolm Gladwell

What is Agile Programme Management?
8
1. Programme goals are clearly and continuously aligned to business strategy
2. Benefits are realised incrementally and as early as possible
3. Governance focusses on creating a coherent capability
4. Decision-making powers are delegated to the lowest possible level
5. Agile programmes are iterative and have the ability to contain both agile and non-agile projects
