To achieve long-term success with Scrum, the implications of becoming agile
must be transferred into other parts of the organization. When this is not done,
organizational gravity—those influences that formed the organization into whatever
shape it existed in before the start of the transition—will kick in. I have seen
Scrum transitions stalled or completely stopped because they ignored the impact
of becoming agile on groups outside development.
