Mentoring for Agile Teams
Because Agile transformations can be difficult to navigate on your own.
Book This Workshop
It’s estimated that nearly half of all Agile transformations fail:
- Agile is difficult to master.
- Research Identifies more than 30 common challenges organizations must overcome to be Agile.
- About two-thirds of Agile transformation failures will be terminal, meaning it will be a long time before the organization is willing to give Agile another shot.
Agile has been proven to be more effective than traditional approaches:
- Agile projects are three times more likely to be successful than Waterfall projects, according to The Standish Group.
- Today’s fast pace of change and the relentless push to digitize services is driving organizations to become more Agile.
- Broad support for Agile in many organizations is paving the way for easier adoption of this new way of working.
