It sounds as though, if you try to get yourself into an agile mindset in order to implement agile itself, you'll have to do that using an agile approach. If people are used to doing $40-million contracts, getting them down to $1-million capped contracts can't happen overnight. It's going to take some type of an approach.
When you're adopting agile to cultural change like this, what types of percentage change are we looking at doing in each iteration? Are we looking at a situation where, for example, we're going to shorten the length by 5% every quarter for the next 10 quarters, or are we going to reduce the dollar value by 20% every quarter? How much do you bite off in terms of growing the teams? How many teams are you going to try to build, and what team rate of growth are we looking at in order to implement this type of a cultural shift across government? How does that look?
