Agility Assessment

Meet Meera.

She feels that her Agile adoption is stuck. It's not clear where the sticking points are.

The Situation.

The introduction of Agile some time ago resulted in increased pressure on the teams to deliver more, yet the highly frequent releases that Meera had hoped would defuse the pressure did not materialise. Stakeholders continue to push for more sooner and teams find themselves overloaded leading to cutting quality and degraded morale, making matters worse into the future.

Whilst Scrum was chosen as the framework, it appears to Meera that not all of it has been implemented effectively. She is not seeing the high trust collaborative behaviours that she expected.

Meera is a busy leader with limited capacity and tools to properly diagnose the situation and come up with a way forward. She knows that she needs help to turn the situation around.

The Breakthrough.

We offer Meera an assessment and uplift advice service over a period of three weeks involving the following.

Capability Vision

We work with Meera to define specific outcomes and measures along with why these are of value given the organisation’s strategy and anticipated challenges. This provides a “true north” against which the current capability can be assessed.

Assessments

Using some of the world’s most highly regarded diagnostic tools, team capability is assessed relative to such matters as Meera's target type of Agile capability, the effectiveness of their Scrum adoption and team health.

Insights & Option Selection

We interactively explore not only the assessment results at team and sponsor levels but also insights based on our analysis and patterns from 24+ years of experience with Agile adoptions. Based on the capabilities that Meera sees as highest priority to enhance, we offer Meera three options with varied speed and investment level profiles.

Planning

We collaborate with Meera and others to map out an improvement plan leveraging internal and external partners as appropriate. Meera and the teams now have what they need to uplift their capability in a targeted fashion.

The Results.

The assessments dig below the symptoms to diagnose the condition to treat. They reveal a couple of areas in which skills and structures are preventing the teams from being effective. Meera works with us to produce a plan targeting these areas. Her decisive action to invest sparks a new energy in the teams.

After a series of breakthroughs, all five teams are releasing high quality output as frequently as the business can absorb change. Stakeholder anxiety evaporates and with it the unhealthy pressure. Meera sees the frequency of stakeholder engagement with the teams rise to a new high, and along with it, trust in their ability to deliver.

Meera is thanked for this outcome by a couple of her senior business stakeholders. These are the same stakeholders who previously contributed much of the pressure that Meera previously felt.
