Ken Schwaber, co-creator of Scrum said: «I estimate that 75% of those organizations using Scrum will not succeed in getting the benefits that they hope for from it… Scrum is a very simple framework within which the «game» of complex product development is played. Scrum exposes every inadequacy or dysfunction within an organization’s product and system development practices. The intention of Scrum is to make them transparent so the organization can fix them. Unfortunately, many organizations change Scrum to accommodate the inadequacies or dysfunctions instead of solving them.»

In order to overcome increasing complexity in organizations several execution models following agile and lean methodologies have evolved, one of them is called Scrumban, a hybrid of Scrum and Kanban.

Change Readiness is assessed from two perspectives:
• Organizational systems and structures that need to be improved
• People and culture that can support or resist the change

The basis of most agile approaches are the Scrum framework, the Kanban method, and elements of the eXtreme Programming (XP) method.
Elements commonly used from the Scrum framework are the product backlog, the product owner, the scrum master, the cross-functional development team, the sprint planning, the daily scrum, the sprint review, the sprint backlog, and the sprint retrospective session.

It is likely that change will be met with resistance. Change resistance should be measured for all stakeholders as changes are announced along with ongoing sampling at key points to monitor the potential resistance.

The Crystal agile framework is built on the belief that teams can find ways on their own to improve their workflows and that every project is unique and always changing, which is why project teams know best how to tackle the work. This framework focuses on individuals and their interactions, instead of processes and tools.

Building a competitive advantage with the strategy execution framework of OPM are embedded with change management.

Key factors for the strategy execution framework of OPM address critical success factors, potential barriers, lack of synergy, and the capabilities of a sponsor function in the organization.
