The correct answer is D – Develop and distribute a high-level summary of how Agile offers greater benefits than predictive to the organization ' s executive directors, and if executive directors agree with the summary, distribute it organization-wide.
Cultural change must be supported from the top. Executive buy-in is crucial for any organizational transformation. Agile coaches work with leadership to promote Agile values, educate key decision-makers, and cascade change throughout the organization in a structured and supported way.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Cultural change requires executive sponsorship. Coaches must engage with senior leadership to build understanding, alignment, and support before broader rollout.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 2.1 – Introducing Agile)
Mike Griffiths confirms:
“Agile adoption is most effective when leadership embraces its principles. Change must be seeded and supported at the executive level before diffusing to teams.”
(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book, Chapter 2 – Agile Mindset)
