Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is the Evolutionary Agilist™ Index measured, and what does the score mean?
A: Each organization receives a score out of 100, reflecting how evolved your agility is across all dimensions, not just how many agile practices you’ve adopted. This isn’t a “maturity level” or a static badge. Instead, it’s a dynamic indicator of your organization’s ability to evolve, adapt, and improve continuously. Agility is never “done." Your score can increase as you grow or decrease if you become complacent. The goal is to foster ongoing evolution, not just hit a target and stop.
