“Agile innovation methods have revolutionized information technology. Over the past 25 to 30 years success rates in software development improved quality, speed to market, and boosted motivation and productivity of IT teams” – Darrell K. Rigby,Jeff Sutherland, and Hirotaka Takeuchi 2016, Harvard Business Review.
Business leaders should pay attention to the trending maturity of agile innovation. The iterative nature of agile engagements and the practice to deliver on demand should make it easier to identify organization and customer value. When teams deliver frequent vertical slices throughout the engagement, the economic value is realized and understood often.

A simple way to “Plan – Do – Inspect – Adapt”
Work is committed by the team
Everyone has a voice and contributes to the results
Iterative Framework
1. Plan & Prioritize
2. Discuss & Commit
3. Execute & Deliver
4. Inspect & Adapt
Be Prepared to be Exposed

The Power of Observation
Yogi Berra – “You can see a lot just by looking”
Frequent retrospectives tell many stories
Find a company to observe agile adoption success
Hire professionals with industry experience

Agile Adoption vs Transformation
Adoption = Training and Coaching with watchful facilitation
Transformation = Delivering value with limited facilitation
The agile journey begins with adoption
9 months to 1-year to progress toward transformation
Mature patterns during the transformation
Must be vigilant to avoid slipping back into bad habits
