Abstract

There are many organizational change models out there. Most only describe change efforts in a general way, but some are specifically applied to a Scrum context. This book focuses very much on Kotter’s approach and I want to explain the reasons. In order to do that, I will first briefly describe four different models, starting with two specific to Scrum. Then I will compare all of them and explain my choice.
