A fully gile organization can provide limitless possibilities. An article in the Harvard Business Review discusses some of the obstacles that can create impediments to achieving goals effectively. They will get the expected results; unfortunately, the path to get there diminishes the value.
An Agile organization is more than a set of processes and sprints; it is a culture. It should be accepted and demonstrated at all levels and divisions within an organization. Most focus on the “evolution” of their Agile which will inherently keep traditional views in place creating clashes on their Agile path. There must be a different view when approaching agility. It should be viewed as an evolution path, not a evolution level sense.
Here to help
Eliminate frustrations
Developing software or services can create times of frustration between individuals, teams, departments, or throughout the organization.
Are your software deliveries running into obstacles?
Are your employees experiencing pain and frustration towards work performance?
Are you up at night trying to figure out what the issue could be?
Does your organization experience frustrations in getting started with new product ideas to solve client needs?
Issues experienced
With Agile organizations
Research (conducted by AgileCxO) showed that over 80% of companies using Agile delivery models are either stuck in the adopting or in the maturing phase and are therefore not experiencing the full value that Agile delivery can provide. Mckinsey research showed that only 4% of organizations studied are enterprise wide following Agile values.
Agile methodologies are becoming used more in a broader area of work outside of software delivery. Service development, Marketing, Support and Sales are seeing the value of having the ability to quickly adapt, mitigate risks sooner, and efficiently get work done for internal or external clients.
Unfortunately the majority of organizations get stuck in a Tactical strategy loop due to dealing with “fire, fights”, which takes time away from the Strategical thinking needed to bring the organization to the next level. A continuous Tactical mindset is stressful and exhausting to everyone involved. That stress and need for a large audience to put out these “fires” impact employee satisfaction which in turn will impact client satisfaction.
Some examples of tactical thinking could be:
Sudden change in the framework
Sudden change in resources
Reliance on tools over the process
Let’s have a discussion on how we can help:
Transform your organization with Agile values
Enhance your current organization’s Agile methodologies to the next level
Reduce frustrations in software or service delivery
Empower teams so the organization can be more Strategic.
