This can take several months to get going and is a major commitment from management, but most companies will report increased delivery and revenue as a result. The process is long-term and consists of the following steps. 0. Assessment The Symphony Solutions’ Lean Agile coalition conducts an Assessment for companies seeking Agile Transformation consulting. The Assessment can take from 2 days to several weeks. When finished and evaluated, the Agile consultants will provide an Adoption Roadmap and clear communication of how to proceed. 1. Education Education is at the heart of change. From Scrum Basics trainings to advanced certifications, these are 2-day trainings which can be with or without certification. Our LACE coalition plans and conducts all trainings and can coach teams through to Implementation or until they are well adapted to working in a new way. 2. Process Agile ensures that value is optimized throughout the development process. It recommends creating cross-functional and self-organized teams, introducing new team roles, such as Scrum Master and Product Owner, who is the connection between the business and the team. 3. Tooling Tools are work management practices to give the tide of development a push forward. It is important that all members of the team use the same tools, issue types and flows. 4. Culture This refers to attitudes and behaviors which encourage all levels of an organization to be naturally more adaptive, flexible and cohesive. Since Agile is a philosophy, the degree to which it penetrates the organization is the point at which the culture begins to be defined. 5. Support The best Agile coaches support the teams, monitor progress, aim for less and less involvement, and recognize when their jobs are over. Support can be individual and group guidance, such that the team naturally becomes less reliant on the coach and more independent. Coaches can always return when they are needed.

The multi-layered management style and traditional Waterfall SDLC are often not the best for early release and speed to market, the “Holy Grail of Agile”. JEFF SUTHERLAND, THE AGILE MANIFESTO, 2001 What Is Agile Transformation and How Your Business Can Benefit from It? With Agile Transformation services a company is able to reinvent itself by changing from traditional organization style to Agile principles. Continuous improvement and seeking ways to change management styles to achieve better results stand at the core of the transformation journey of any organization. In pursuit of innovation, companies may currently be working in waterfall SDLC and want to become lighter, quicker, and more efficient to win the rush to market. Some might already have partly shifted in their methodologies and need pockets of training. Others might need scaled Agile, and others might be completely new to this mindset and culture and need to start at the beginning. Either way, companies that are in pursuit of Business Agility, may anticipate to change as they are on their journey: Become more flexibleBetter respond to market changeAccelerate time to market. A company’s capacity for adopting this methodology and reaping full benefits of continuous delivery depends on its willingness to change and Agile maturity. This means that commitment to and readiness for a change need to guide the decision to begin.
