Agile Transformation

Starting on the agile path is not easy. Given the challenges of changing the mindset and ingraining new practices in an organization, any help is increasing the chances of success.

Taking into consideration the current context, constraints and business objectives, for a smooth transition we are co-designing the agile journey with you.

We will help you accelerate delivery, improve quality and reduce time-to-market by working in your environment, through customized adoption programs. Values, principles and elements of agile leadership are key to the success of each program.

Our approach has the purpose to offer the management, leaders and team(s) a ​different perspective, a fresh perspective on how to achieve the next level of performance with business agility.

Objectives and scopes

Common reasons to adopt Agile and Scrum:

• accelerate time to market: deliver more value for your users, faster
• predictability: stabilize the release schedule
• increase quality: continuous improvement with fast delivery
• productive collaboration and accelerated knowledge sharing
• improve customer satisfaction

After discussing in-depth your needs and current context, we’ll co-design the journey through a hands-on, interactive learning experience.

Approach / Way of work

In terms of delivery, some examples of the techniques and skills that we use are:

• Pair work, especially useful for the initial phases of acquiring a new skill and for moving beyond obstacles. This is also one of the most powerful tools in our customized coach the coach programs
• Micro-training, short, less than an hour hands-on training for micro-techniques
• The power of example. The trainer / the coach demoes a technique to a group of team members and then encourages them to use it. Useful for reducing resistance to adoption.
• Shadowing & retrospective. The trainer / the coach observes for a period of time how the team members do their daily work and then gives them feedback.
• One-to-one discussions. Or focused group discussions, on various challenges.
• When needed, 1-2 hour mini-workshops will be included for new techniques or needed practices applied directly in production.
• Design experiments. Experimenting. Apply some of the techniques by measuring the expected results. As part of the Agile journey, we recommend an increased focus on designing experiments to validate the defined hypothesis.

Each client organization has an unique culture, team members with diverse experience and skills, and business goals. Depending on your specific needs, customized learning programs and mentorship programs can be created for key people in order to advance on the agility path.
