When planning and implementing change in Agile projects, the Agile BA should consider core

characteristics such as culture, communication, and collaboration.

Culture: Understanding the organizational culture is critical for implementing change successfully.

This includes recognizing existing values, beliefs, and behaviors that may support or hinder the

change process.

Communication: Effective communication is essential to ensure that all stakeholders are informed

and engaged throughout the change process. Clear, consistent, and transparent communication

helps to build trust and ensures that everyone understands the objectives and benefits of the

change.

Collaboration: Agile methodologies emphasize teamwork and collaboration. Engaging stakeholders,

including team members from different disciplines, ensures diverse perspectives and fosters a sense

of ownership and commitment to the change initiative.

Contingency, while important, is not typically highlighted as a core characteristic by Agile BAs when

planning and implementing change. Instead, Agile frameworks often focus on flexibility and

adaptability to manage uncertainties rather than formal contingency planning. Reference:
