The last thing you want to hear from leadership on Agile adoption is, " we have deployed industry standard tools and processes, created agile champions, agile/scrum rituals are in place, etc etc ... We are agile now"
Just shows how myopic and non-outcome oriented their thoughts are.
Agile is, as manifesto states, about
-how your people are interacting and communicating in teams, across teams and across time zones
-How the teams were formed to make sure they reach self managed state early
-How the teams don't become a one person team, who makes all decisions, as he/she is favourite among leader/leadership
-How they are adding valuable outcomes to business after each sprint
-How the product owners are defining those values properly in their acceptance criteria
-How close are those criteria to business goals they are trying to meet, who validates them and their priorities
-How are you using the investment to make sure the high priority items that deliver value are implmented first
-How do you interact with the end customers and vice-versa
