Scale Your Agile Practice and Confidently Increase Capacity

There are common Agile scaling issues but no single silver bullet solution to resolve them.

There are common Agile scaling issues but no single silver bullet solution to resolve them. Failures are natural occurrences and your organization must be disciplined to accept these issues as lessons and continuously improve on them without diminishing realized benefits.


Your Challenge

  • You have to keep proving business value. About one-third of organizations indicate management support as a barrier to further Agile adoption*. Business leaders are critical in alleviating organizational hurdles that can constrain the wider Agile rollout.
  • Not everyone understands Agile. 44% of organizations identified organizational culture change as a barrier (9th Annual State of Agile Survey, VersionOne, 2015). The foundation of all Agile methodologies is open and regular communication and collaboration among teams and stakeholders that were not previously present.
  • You need a strategy. Agile is a fit to purpose methodology. It is difficult to coordinate projects and benchmark performance without a consistent process or standards.


Our Solution

  • Current state assessment. Proactively addressing as many organizational and process issues upfront can significantly ease scaling initiatives. Our activities will reveal the key risks that may derail Agile adoption.
  • Establish a common understanding. Our program will get all members of your development teams, business stakeholders, customers, and management around common terminologies, processes, and metrics, establishing a baseline.
  • Integrate Agile with Waterfall. Depending on the project, Agile isn’t always the right way to go. Our program ensures you have the right team structure and management at the program and portfolio level to achieve top-to-bottom transparency and visibility while retaining flexibility and agility at the project level.
  • Measure value. Our program involves ongoing measurement to ensure Agile teams are delivering true value back to the business. We facilitate open communication and collaboration around improvements to better align with business priorities.
