Agile software development by offering new values motivates software companies to use Agile methods instead of traditional methods. However, reviewing the literature shows that leaving traditional methods and moving to Agile methods is subjected to many serious challenges. We have conducted a large-scale research study to empirically discover various aspects of Agile transformation. Our Grounded Theory study showed the general outline of Agile transformation. The main aim of this paper is to figure out the most important concepts that need to be considered when moving to Agile. This study showed that Agile transformation comprises many concepts, activities, and steps including transformation prerequisites, facilitators, framework, assessment, coaching, and so on. Companies need to be familiar with these concepts before starting transitioning to Agile.

This method provides several simple and effective practices to manage software projects. However, despite of its simple structure, lots of challenges and issues have been reported during Scrum adoption. Te main aim of this paper is to report the main issues of introducing Scrum in a particular team. Team members had been selected within a nomination process. The adoption process took about 6 months, and adoption proceeded during a real, but not critical project. Results showed several challenges and barriers the team faced with. The most critical issues were regarding team collaboration and commitment. Moreover, collaboration with product owner and sprint planning were the others major issues. Finally, while the results showed a few challenges regarding planning game and retrospective meeting, no challenge has been reported regarding tools and technology.
