An Agile Assessment is your first step to taking your organization’s efficiency and performance to the next level.
Whether your team is brand new or maturing in agile practices, the assessment will bring clarity to your vision.
Ensure that your leadership team is aligned on the following:
Benefits on committing to an Agile Transformation.
Leadership shared vision and transformation objectives.
Agile transformation journey map. Transformation priorities. Scope, budget and roadmap.
Continuous Business Value Delivery (CBVD) is the ability to rapidly deliver value to the customer on a consistent basis. CBVD is achieved when anyone within the organization can come up with innovative product and service ideas that provide a competitive advantage.
Leaders can incorporate these ideas into an overall strategy with specific goals and objectives that align the organization, and the organization can then effectively execute this strategy through incremental delivery and fast feedback.
The Agile Assessment measures the 4 core capabilities that every organization must possess in order to achieve Continuous Business Value Delivery: Scalability, Quality, Speed, and Adaptability.
The in-depth Agile Assessment will benchmark your organization’s current state in each of these 4 main capabilities, and then we will collaborate with you to create a roadmap for your future success.
The first step is a Discovery Process where we conduct a thorough assessment of your organization to benchmark your current state. This Discovery Process includes:
Once the Discovery Process is complete, we will then perform the following assessments:
Leadership workshop to help leaders fully understand agile principles, how to become a leader in an agile organization, and align leaders on key goals and objectives
Quantitative assessment consists of in-depth surveys that are sent to IT team members, IT leaders and business leaders to assess the organization’s agile adoption, DevOps capability, team dynamics, and overall ability of the organization to achieve business outcomes.
Subjective assessment where we will look at your portfolio management, conduct interviews, and observe how agile methods are being executed within your organization.
Once the Discovery Process is complete, we will then perform the following assessments:
Portfolio Assessment which covers:
Lean portfolio management
Risk-scaled portfolio management
Business intent-driven architecture panel of portfolio, program, and team
140-Point DevOps Assessment: An in-depth assessment conducted through three workshops on Agile Technical Practices, DevOps and Architecture, to get a complete picture of all DevOps related processes and capabilities including:
Version control
Continuous deployment, integration and testing
Release management and environments
Tooling and culture
Value Stream Determination: Identify how your organization creates value through operations, and organize programs around value stream, not platforms.
Throughout the assessment process, we collaborate with champions and leaders to create a roadmap which includes:
