Ensuring your successful transition to Agile

• Incremental change programme
• Involvement of your whole team
• Effective evolution of the process
• Comprehensive understanding by all

Transitioning to Agile is not simply about training and project support, it requires organisational change within your IT and stakeholder groups.

Introducing a new process is effectively a programme of change. Involving the whole team in reviewing and assessing readiness, refining processes; adapting behaviours; introducing new governance requirements; and removing organisational constraints.

A transition will typically include:

• A review of your prevailing context, existing processes and organisational constraints: readiness
• Definition of new governance requirements to provide greater Agility within your existing process
• Support for Program Office in the implementation of your new requirements
• Project support for adherence to process changes
• Definition of role changes and supporting training
• Definition of new testing approach (including automation)
• Development of an engagement model for third-party and off-shore Agile development

Evolving the process through iterations on real projects means that a wide range of your staff are involved at a deep level. This will result in a more comprehensive understanding of the process and its objectives and values than if training courses alone were used.
