<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3109/2536358399_c16896768f_m.jpg" alt="Questioned Proposal" /></p>
<p>Apart from a different scale, is it much different than to adopt Scrum in a small sized company? I tend to think the same organizational and systemic dynamics come into play: company culture, senior management support, communication channels, work environment etc.</p>
<p>Is it the scale of everything and how deep the company culture is rooted that might make things a lot tougher?</p>
<p>What do you think? Can Scrum survive in the world of fixed scope and date, top-down management, lengthy weekly email reports with hundreds of recipients in CC, big bang releases with multi-million € Marketing campaigns?</p>
<p>I would love to read your comments on that one!</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong><strong>:</strong> Point 1 from <a href="http://agilesoftwaredevelopment.com/blog/janusz-gorycki/agile-dead#comment-2847">this comment</a> pretty much nails my thoughts on Agile in the Enterprise. It can&#8217;t work if the leaders don&#8217;t change.</p>
