We will discuss three case studies from the lens of intrinsic motivational  and continuous improvement measures. These are case studies of Agile transitions that went:
– too fast
– too slow
– just right

We will examine how leaders can avoid the pitfalls of the all too common “TACO” (terms and ceremonies only) transformation and instead to lead their organizations to adopt a mindset that enables a sustainable journey of continuous improvement.
