In "Lagaan," the imposing Captain Russell epitomizes the challenge of conflicting stakeholder interests. His rigid stance mirrors situations in Agile project management where different stakeholders have divergent expectations. Just as Bhuvan bridges the gap between villagers, Agile practitioners must skillfully align stakeholders to ensure a unified vision and direction.
"3 Idiots" introduces us to the formidable Dr. Viru Sahastrabuddhe, whose resistance to innovation reflects the age-old challenge of change management. Much like the reluctance shown by Virus towards non-conventional education, Agile teams often encounter resistance when implementing new processes or methodologies. Overcoming this resistance requires a Rancho-esque determination to demonstrate the benefits of Agile practices.
