The first two experiments were very successful and the teams shared their excited stones with the entire company After the first two experiments with Scrum this was discontinued Although the employees enjoyed learning about Scrum this way management found it a waste of time Instead they focused on training the managers and getting the employees and managers into the right mindset To facilitate training they hired external Scrum Masters.

Although the start of the transition was received well the enthusiasm for Scrum quickly dampens. The transition ultimately fails.

Well, regardless of the reasons, it's clear that communication and involvement of all employees is crucial for a successful transition.

Yeah, that could be a possibility. Starting small might not have been effective for such a big transition.

I think the problem lies in the transition plan itself. Maybe the split-and-seed approach was not the right one.

I disagree, I believe the issue was that the Scrum teams didn't share their experiences enough to get everyone excited.

I think the transition failed because the Scrum Masters couldn't change the mindset of the managers alone.

Yes, it's important for both the teams and managers to be on board and actively involved in the transition process for it to be successful.

I agree with User3, perhaps the training provided by the Scrum Masters wasn't enough to shift the mindset of the managers.

I think the transition to Scrum failed because of the split-and-seed transition approach.
