Agile is not just a framing; it is a way of doing things, being engaged and aligned on a goal, a way to collaborate, listen and delegate. Confidence and trust that everyone and each team, are doing their best, to make short term problems become real improvements on short, medium and long term. To increase profit via reduced development and operational costs. Further, everyone desires to be on a high performing team.
I can make this become the standard for your company ;-)
