TL;DR; Scrum can be used to drive organizational change, not just build software features. By forming a change team, creating a backlog, and using regular feedback, you can make improvements measurable and adaptable. To achieve real agility, apply Scrum practices to your internal processes as well as your products.
Scrum isn’t limited to building features. It’s a social technology for solving complex problems. That includes your internal systems of work.

Form a change team. Create a change backlog. Make each improvement inspectable, transparent, and releasable. Measure the effect. Adapt the plan. Rinse and repeat.
This isn’t transformation theatre. This is evidence-based change, one step at a time.

Want real agility? Apply Scrum to the system, not just the software.
