Agile in India – 1

Recently there has been a long discussion about difficulties of adopting Agile in Indian organizations.   Even the places where it has been adopted per-se, it is argued that the situation  remained same.   Apparently there is no cultural shift that is expected and desired through Agile.

It is incidental that my article appeared during the same time in Agile journal.   The article touches few aspects of the culture in the Indian industry that may be relevant to the questions raised in the thread.  I want to elaborate little more of what I gathered, understood and mulled over on this topic before I published the article.     I will try to substantiate as much as I can on some of my fat claims on where and how arrived at those conclusions.   Anything not substantiated can be taken as my own interpretation and opinion.

In no specific order,  I will do a series of posts explaining multiple aspects to understand the Indian industry.    Some may not directly relate to  Agile specifically, but the cultural aspects that make any change difficult.

Thanks
