The Agile Assessment consists of 33 quality statements covering all agile building blocks essential to become a truly agile organization.
- Agile Strategy: Bridging the gap between strategy and operations agile leaders use key agile frameworks and tools such as OKRs to motivate employees, increase business value and ensure the accomplishment of business goals in a fully agile and transparent way.
- New Collaboration: Nowadays, the traditional separation of business and IT is not adequate anymore. Instead, successful agile companies work with product centric teams. That means experts from all relevant areas work together on one product in interdisciplinary and self-managing teams. New collaboration does not necessarily require a new organisation – product centric teams are rather characterized by organizing themself around a new agile operating model.
- Agile Development: Development is where many organizations start their agile transformation by applying established agile techniques and agile methodologies such as Scrum or SAFe. This is certainly a good starting point. But to become a truly agile organisation, agile values and principles need to be anchored in all business areas. All agile activities, roles and artifacts need to be established correctly and consistently.
- Automated Operations: Truly agile organizations distinguish themselves through their ability of making their products accessible for the customers quickly and reliably. Their development and operation teams are closely connected which enables fast delivery of finished software. All steps of their deployment (aka the DevOps pipeline) are automated – from coding to testing to production.
- Scalable Architecture: In a dynamic, customer-driven environment, monolithic structures have a tendency to grow in size and complexity to a level that impedes agile development teams and continuous deployment. Therefore, a new architectural paradigm has proven to be more adequate for agile ways of working: microservice architectures. If you want your company to become 100% agile and work in flexible, agile teams, microservices rather than monoliths are the architectural paradigm to pursue.
- Partner Ecosystem: Becoming a truly agile organization does not mean being an expert in all next-gen technologies on your own. It rather means establishing a partner ecosystem that supports you in scaling your agile teams, providing cloud services and innovation services.
- Empowered People: Agile culture is an essential element of organizations that not only want to do agile but aim to be agile and live agile. We believe that you can create an agile working culture and an agile workplace by consciously doing certain things differently (so-called Moments-that-Matter), establishing new servant leadership models and supporting failure cluture and diversity. Also, to enable collaboration, agile teams need to be empowered with the right agile tools.
