Which of these six characteristics do you think large companies struggle the most with.

Do you agree with the concept of subtle control in Agile method. That is, do you think most companies have too much control and not enough freedom at the team level. Please share your experience on this point. Do you think self-organized team don't need control?

The overlapping development phases is very obvious across agile practices, especially Scrum. If requirements are clearly define can project team do without overlapping phases. Share your experience.
