What team, capability, or group goes first? Second? Third? We have to give the organization some idea of what we’re going to do, how long it’s going to take, and what benefits we expect to acheive from the investment. What do we mean by Agile Teams? Step 3: Build a Transformation Roadmap There are well understood patterns around how to form teams at scale and how to orchestrate those teams to do work. This plan includes a working hypothesis for structure, governance, and metrics which we will progressively elaborate throughout the Transformation. We have to have some idea of where we’re going before we start, but pragmatically, we expect the plan to change.

Watch Mike walk through the Executive’s Step by Step Guide to Leading an Agile Transformation Step 1: Build A Leadership CoalitionĪgile Transformation is going to require changes to every part of the business and will require support from the top. While every Agile Transformation is different we typically see an organization go through the following steps: ![]() You should already be moving away from “big-bang” product releases to regular, incremental delivery so the work of the Transformation ought to be managed the same way. The goal is to transform the way you work. The key is to understand the right way to plan so that business value is delivered at regular increments in the Transformation. Understanding the LeadingAgile Compass (4 Quadrants).Your Agile Transformation Strategy will ultimately depend upon the value system of your organization and the value system of the customers your organization serves. Also, using those metrics over time to measure and track improvement.įor a full overview of the 4 Quadrants visit The Compass The process centers around forming teams, defining an Agile governance model, and identifying and baselining metrics the company cares about. The path to adaptive-emergence, often runs through the predictive-convergent quadrant, through the adaptive-convergent quadrant, and finally to the adaptive-emergent quadrant. When plotted along the axis of a 2×2 matrix, we get four quadrants which can be used to evaluate where your organization is today and to decide where you need to go to get the business benefits you’re after. Are you trying to figure out what your customer wants, what we call an emergent ecosystem or are you focused on making and meeting commitments, what we call a convergent ecosystem? Our Compass The second thing to consider is what your customer’s value from a planning perspective. And, the more you design for adaptability, the less predictable it will be. The more you design the system for predictability, the harder it is to change. How much do you value predictable delivery vs the ability to adapt to change? While most organizations value both, there is a trade-off. There are two dimensions that need to be considered when answering this question.įirst, you should consider what your company values in terms of planning. The strategy for an Agile Transformation comes from knowing where your organization is today and where you need to go. LeadingAgile’s Theory of Transformation.Three Things – Teams, Backlogs, Working Tested Software.Removing the things that get in the way of accomplishing these things is the work of the Transformation. At scale, it’s creating networks of loosely coupled teams, coordinating dependencies, managing trade-offs, getting things into the market fast, and measuring throughput instead of productivity. Steps to Successful Agile TransformationĪgile Transformation is fundamentally about forming teams, building backlogs, and regularly producing increments of working, tested software.However, for large, complex organizations with legacy technology architecture, Transformation must be carefully orchestrated to ensure that the work and investment made in making the change create business value and actually leads to Agility.Īgile Transformation is the work of refactoring the organization so that it can actually do Agile. For small companies, Agile Transformation can be straightforward-since getting alignment can be accomplished by getting everyone in a room and creating a shared understanding.
