The most essential prerequisite for success of Agile in an organisation is _____________.&#10;A) Recruitment & Selection of Agile Teams&#10;B) Competency Development&#10;C) Talent Management&#10;D) Organisational Culture

Organisational culture plays a key role in the success of Agile adoption as it determines the level of support, collaboration, and flexibility within the organization. A culture that values teamwork, experimentation, and continuous improvement is essential for Agile to thrive. Without the right culture in place, even the most competent Agile teams or talent management practices will not be able to fully realize the benefits of Agile. Recruitment and competency development are important factors, but they are secondary to a supportive organizational culture.
