Why Agile is not Successful in some Companies

I work for a so called big MNC, and I see &quot;the agile problem&quot; everyday. This typically happens because someone higher up decided to bring in a hot buzzword into the company with utter disregard to the impact it would cause to the company<p>The company is a heavily process oriented company, and it takes a minimum of 3 days to complete the process aspect of a software release!! That&#x27;s how much process the company follows, add to that meetings and issues and bug fixes and the typical developer and everyone on the team is stretched to the limits - with some sacrificing their personal time and working for the company for free.<p>Add to this, everyone is scared to speak up. Personally, I have decided to move on as I see no hope in this company.<p>Bad practices sap the energy out of good people for doing great things.<p>I wish people didn&#x27;t miss something as simple as this. This is a problem u can associate with a big MNC with a lot of inertia. A bad decision (like moving to agile even though they have too many processes to follow) could cost the company a huge loss in terms of people and money!
