According to multiple studies, including the 2020 State of Agile report, only a small fraction of organizations have achieved total agility, with approximately 1 in 10 considered fully agile. This statistic underscores organizations’ widespread challenges in attaining comprehensive agility across their operations.

Agile methodologies have been used for decades before the Manifesto for Agile Software Development was created that February day in 2001. Since then, we have been finding adoption in diverse sectors such as Marketing, Retail, and Services. However, the transition to agile often encounters significant hurdles, one of the most prominent being the clash between traditional and agile cultures. Research, including findings from a VersionOne study, highlights that 63% of respondents identify this clash as a significant impediment to agile adoption.

A common pitfall in organizations’ agile journeys is the tendency to focus solely on the “What” of an agile environment, neglecting the crucial “Why” behind their adoption. This approach leads to superficial assessments that address symptoms rather than root causes.

Consequently, organizations grapple with challenges such as resistance to change (48%) and lack of leadership participation (46%), as revealed by the 2020 State of Agile Report. Conversely, truly agile organizations, as demonstrated in a study cited by the Harvard Business Review, experience significant revenue growth (up to 60%) and are better positioned to meet market demands.
