Agility Health Assessment

AGILITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT

Agility health assessment is a single or multi day assessment of your existing AS-IS agility state. One or more consultant will be spending time with your teams, stakeholders and senior management covering some  projects to get insights on current state of project activities and on awareness of Agile practices/methods for end to end delivery covering the following aspects

 

                • Team Structure & Roles, Expectations, Challenges and Risks 
                • Agile Project management practices and at high level on Engineering Practices 
                • Tools related infrastructure 
                • Brief review of Product Backlog creation/prioritization and User stories and their breakdown, estimation techniques followed 
                • Metrics, Results, KPIs and Management Reports 

Agility health reports will be shared post the assessment which will include project level findings along with a set of themes for improvement. It will also include a transformation plan that will guide all stakeholders to explore ways for effective implementation of recommended improvements based on business impact and project context

 

AGILE TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY

First step in any Agile Transformation journey is maturity assessment or Agility health assessment. What we need to find is at what stage is the team and the project and understand the business context. A diagnostic report is presented to the management post the assessment. Agile adoption roll out plan is discussed in depth and agreed with the leaders. Next step is to train leadership and teams on basic Agile fundamentals and contextualize with the business context. Everyone needs to have a common understanding and terminology. It’s now time to get the ball rolling on the ground and prepare for sprint facilitation, following is a sample roadmap :

 

                  • Team Restructuring + Budgeting + Governance + High Level Delivery Plan + High Level Architecture + Business Outcomes
                  • Product Vision > Product Backlog > Release Plan > Sprint Plan > Daily Plan
                  • Introduction of Ceremonies + Roles
                  • Mentoring and Coaching for User Story Creation + Prioritization + Estimation + Retrospective and others
                  • Creation of self-organizing teams
                  • Sustenance + Stabilization + Scaling + Innovation during Sprints

This is followed by width and depth wise Roll Out. Width wise roll out is Agile at scale, done using specific framework (SAFe, Scrum and Scale, LeSS, Spotify etc) or a mix of methodologies as per the organization context. Depth wise roll-out means introducing Agile engineering and DevOps practices.

 

Agile COE creation with grooming of internal talent pool for various roles is done as a parallel process during the transformation journey once stabilization is achieved.
