Evolving to Agile
“It takes a village to raise a child.”
“It takes an organization to evolve to Agile.”
Many organizations hear the purported benefits of Agile, such as reduced development costs and quicker time to market, and want to know how they can bring Agile into their organization.
The answer? It depends.
What does an Agile evolution depend on? Here are a few items:
- The propensity of the organization to take on managed risk.
- Corporate organization and culture.
- The current Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) processes.
- The team structure (direct or matrixed, employee or contractor).
- Management of technical debt.
- Federal regulations and program requirements.
- Mindset of the team members and others in the organization.
Although this is not a comprehensive list, it illustrates that much analysis needs to be done before deciding on an approach to Agile.
Some organizations begin with an Agile pilot study, usually using scrum or kanban on the team level, while others do a complete transformation using a scalable framework that also tackles the portfolio and program levels, such as Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), or a hybrid approach. Before deciding which is right for you, analysis of your organization is critical.
Scaling Agility has expertise in organizing and conducting visioning sessions and creating Agile roadmaps for organizations that encompass both the business and technical sides. We understand that as the organization becomes more agile, the roadmaps may change, and can help you stay aware and ahead of the curve.
