But a lot of times, and you guys know this.

And what systems first means to me is that if we can get the teaming strategies, we can get the governance models, we get the measurement and control, we create the possibility for Agile to do really, really great things in your company.

And so if you show up and like you say, “Hey, I want to adopt Agile,” but you know, you’re not familiar with the strategies or Agile governance strategies or such, right?
