To rectify this issue, the organization wants to adopt more agile methodologies. However, before these methods can be implemented into the project, what should Sarah do first?
- A Assess organizational culture and readiness for the proposed agile shift in culture.
- B Place current projects on hold and adjust them to the new agile changes.

- D Ask workers to vote on whether they want to participate in the new projects.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Sarah should determine whether the organization is ready for the agile shift in culture. Agile operates significantly differently from predictive projects. She will need to be prepared to coach and mentor the team, field questions, and manage frustrations from stakeholders as they attempt the agile approach in their projects. The other three options are viable solutions but should only be conducted after assessing the organizational culture.Discussion
