X is a company which wants to agile in technology whenever executive asks about it he has limited knowledge (2) also company X initiate bottom-up agile transformation without the focus on end-state aspiration in this way value of company ended up with limited impact(1) promotion is not based on talent as per company policy it is based on age year of experience(4) but promotion does not differentiate among employees from which culture(3) after giving promotion no strategy follow up by promoted employees for scaling up profit(5) and if they plan strategically and innovatively they are lacking in funding(6)and if they got the funding they use rigid framework for strategies(7) in this way the company X somehow consist all 7 pitfalls of agile.

I have done differently by using Handscomb on these seven pitfalls and make company free from these pitfalls of agile transformation. if awareness about these agile pitfall in an organization than it is achievable to remove or reduce these pitfalls.
