You should also consider agile when the organization wants to move away from traditional gated, push based, siloed, change averse, big upfront planning based work culture to an iterative, incremental work culture which embraces changeand encourages close collaboration with end customers. Though it sounds obvious, the complexity in driving such change are far too many, as it directly challenges the statu-quo, highlights areas in organization that are in inertia and also people who are resisting change due to various reasons like ghost of the past, fear of failure, ‘what’s in it for me?’ or just hopelessness.


Agile consulting helps organizations understand their present As-Is state, marry their core business objectives with Agile ways of working, identify an ideal To-Be State and design a context driven, time bound Agile transformation roadmap to reach there, followed by actual on-the-job Agile implementation.


Agile consulting is based on the Agile principles and values, which prioritizecollaboration, flexibility, and rapid adaptation to change. At the same time, a good agile consultant is mindful of aligning agility within the constraints of the organization as the same prescription will not work for all.


Agile Transformation plans use a mix of various agile methodologies likeScrum, Kanban, XP, Lean& scaling frameworks like SAFe, LeSS, Scrum of Scrums etc to solve specific business challenges and evolve the practices over time.

FAQ's

Agile consulting is based on the Agile principles and values, which prioritize collaboration, flexibility, and rapid adaptation to change. Agile consulting firms help businesses align agility within the constraints of the organization and help them leverage agile ways of working to innovate constantly in a VUCA environment.

Agile consulting helps organizations understand their present As-Is state, marry their core business objectives with Agile ways of working, identify an ideal To-Be State and design a context driven, time bound Agile transformation roadmap to reach there, followed by actual on-the-job Agile implementation.

A good agile consultant helps organizations adopt a quick, time-bound, outcome-driven Agile transformation journey marrying culture, mindset, process, tools, and hands-on implementation expertise. They help leadership realize long term business objectives, support middle management to achieve execution certainty and work with the teams to make their jobs easier and more productive.

In short, an agile consultant designs and implements context driven agile adoption while  creating internal competencies and leveraging new ways of working.

Agile ways of working help organizations adapt to changes in a VUCA world, constantly innovate and reinvent themselves and be more customer centric to deliver exceptional value to their end clients.

Agile helps to improve execution certainty, transparency, predictability, collaboration, time-to-market, pull based work culture, one team mindset and overall alignment with core organizational business objectives.

You should also consider agile when the organization wants to move away from traditional gated, push based, siloed, change averse, big upfront planning based work culture to an iterative, incremental work culture which embraces change and encourages close collaboration with end customers.

Any agile transformation requires careful consideration of the organization’s current state and a clear understanding of the desired outcomes. A good agile company always starts with the business context and then designs a solution which is suited to the particular client situation.

As a globally trusted top agile consulting company, Benzne focus on building strong relationships with our clients, delivering exceptional value and consistently exceeding expectations. Our time bound, business context driven, framework agnostic focus differentiates us from other agile consulting companies.

We keep specific organizational requirements in consideration when designing agile training programs, trainers routinely tweak course coverage during the session to accommodate context driven learning needs. They are able to do so because of multiple years of experience as an hands-on agile practitioner.

What are the key agile transformation challenges? Simply, the fact that transformation is not a single player game. There are scores of people involved and all of them must contribute towards this pursuit of agility in the organization.

Mostly, Individuals, teams, organizations start their pursuit of Agility with great excitement and enthusiasm, somewhat similar to a person starting his dream job. While we start with good intentions and motivation, the initial excitement can quickly disappear as they hit any challenges in an agile transformation journey.

The correct way to adopt agile is to find an ultimate balance between the Micro and Macro where the agility can sustain. It’s important for the organization to have a pragmatic mix of both to move slowly, yet steadily towards the right direction to leverage ‘Agile’.

Benzne has designed and implemented agility across all levels in diverse industry segments like Payment Tech, Fintech, Crypto, Healthcare, FMCG, Insurance, Banking, Auto, Semiconductors, Prop Tech, IT Services, SaaS and Petroleum among others

Each organization has a different context and thus a different agile transformation journey. The duration of an agile transformation will depend on a multitude of factors like the present state, desired end state, geographical spread, size of the organization, width and depth wise agile maturity desired, leadership buy-in, organizational culture etc. Depending on these factors, an agile transformation journey can be anywhere from 6 months to 2-3 years or beyond.

You will need to tell us ‘What’, ‘Why’ & ‘When’ of the agile transformation needed & we will take care of the ‘how’. We will understand the business context, present state and maturity, desired end state, identify the roadmap, get the stakeholder buy-in across the organization and start implementing the agile ways of working with pilot projects, create success stories, inculcate the rigor of sprinting, start publishing the right metrics, stabilize, scale, build internal competency, establish agile COE, prepare for handover with follow-up support & regular health assessments.

Agile transformation metrics we measure can be broadly classified into following buckets at a high level:

Business & Customer centric – Is your agile transformation increasing your customer satisfaction? Is your business now faster in responding to market needs? Are your customers endorsing you to other customers?

Process & Practice centric – Is there a culture of continuous improvement in your teams after the transformation? Are your teams responding to change? Are your customers getting value delivered continuously? Are your teams innovating enough to develop modern solutions?

People centric – Is there a culture of transparency within the teams? Are your teams happy and content with the work? Are your teams self motivated? Are the role expectations set properly? Are your teams having a continuous learning mindset?

Agile purists have succeeded in annoying the stakeholders by two interventions. One is by scaring them with the consequences of being rigid in the VUCA world and secondly by telling them that metrics and reporting are a deterrent to be relevant. We do not agree with that. We believe that balancing is the key. Aspects like predictability and maturity-based autonomy and control will create win-win for all as stakeholders could be our cheerleaders and play an essential role in driving agile transformation and they have all the rights to have execution certainty.

Most importantly, create a few success stories before convincing the entire organization. Work with the more open enthusiasts, show results, allow the change to cross-pollinate.

We have extensively supported global clients with teams spread across different continents. Covid era moved entire client teams to remote working mode and our consultants faced the challenge of agile implementation with remote consulting intervention.

We transitioned to remote agile consulting in the first Covid wave and have led multiple successful remote transformation journeys till now. Agile for remote is our offering to our prospective clients across the globe. We, at Benzne have rolled over our sleeves to expand our business beyond India and have already started serving the needs of our geographically distributed and diverse customer base. We use a plethora of tools like padlet, mentimeter, kahoot, easyretro, whimsical, mural, miro etc which aids in remote collaborations.

Reach out to us via email or the website form and we will set up an initial discussion to understand your requirements. Once we understand your business objectives for agile transformation, we will share a high level approach note and propose an As-Is assessment. Everything flows from there, assessment findings and analysis will guide us on how to design the agile transformation roadmap. We will do a playback session with senior management on the roadmap and move into the implementation phase after alignment on the proposed approach.
