Business Outcome Driven with Agile Consulting

Why Agile?, Why Agile Consulting?

 

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. 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 prioritize collaboration, 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 like Scrum, Kanban, XP, Lean & scaling frameworks like SAFe, LeSS, Scrum of Scrums etc to solve specific business challenges and evolve the practices over time.

Discover the Power of Agile ways of working

Our Agile Consulting Process

The step-wise approach of an Agile consulting engagement typically involves the following steps:

 

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. Here are the steps to consider implementing in your Agile transformation journey:

Understanding your current state

The first step in planning an Agile transformation is to assess the current state of the organization. This includes analyzing the current processes, structures, culture, and technology to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the organization, this is called As-Is Agility health Assessment and is the bedrock of a successful agile transformation

Stakeholder Sensitization and Buy-in

Engaging key stakeholders is critical to the success of an Agile transformation. This includes engaging executives, managers, team leaders, and individual contributors in the planning process to build buy-in and ensure that everyone is working towards the same goals

Identify the teams and processes that will be involved

The next step is to identify the teams and processes that will be involved in the Agile transformation. This includes understanding the interdependencies between teams and processes and determining which teams and processes will be impacted by the transformation. We can also start with few teams and pilot agile to create pockets of excellence, this will create a positive pull towards Agile in the organization

What do you want to achieve with the transformation

Once the current state has been assessed, the next step is to define the desired outcomes of the Agile transformation. This includes understanding the goals and objectives of the transformation and defining the desired outcomes in terms of improved processes, structures, culture, and technology (To-be State)

Develop a detailed Implementation Roadmap

Once the teams and processes have been identified, the next step is to develop a detailed implementation plan. This includes creating a timeline for Agile implementation, identifying the resources that will be needed, and developing a budget for the transformation

Establish a governance structure

Establishing a governance structure is important to ensure that the Agile transformation is managed effectively. This includes defining the roles and responsibilities of the key stakeholders, creating a governance committee, and establishing clear decision-making processes

Communicate the plan and Onboard Team

Once the plan has been developed, the next step is to communicate the plan to the organization. This includes communicating the goals and objectives of the transformation, agreeing on the approach and the timeline for implementation, and the resources that will be needed (Playback session)

Train and coach

Training and coaching are critical components of an Agile transformation. Fundamental training on Agile methodologies are delivered to teams and leadership to bring in a common understanding of Agle. This is followed by coaching teams and individuals on how to apply Agile practices in their work with coaches embedded in the teams and multiple role and work specific trainings.

Implement and monitor

The next step is to implement the Agile transformation, which involves putting the changes into effect and monitoring progress. This includes regular check-ins with teams to ensure that the transformation is on track and making the necessary adjustments along the way

Continuously Improve

Agile transformations are ongoing processes that require continuous improvement. This includes regularly reassessing the organization’s processes, structures, and culture to identify areas for improvement and making changes as needed. Insights gained from real-world implementation experience of our consultants inform adjustments, refinements and pivot led by closed feedback loops

Building Internal competence for Self Sustenance

Teams and individuals are mentored to drive continuous improvement and maintain the rigor and cadence of Agile practices.

Benzne Workshops

There are several reputable Agile training providers in India (& across the globe) that offer high-quality Agile training programs. We are listing some of the reasons why you should explore Benzne Consulting as your Agile training partner in India below :

More than a training company

We pride ourselves as a pure play agile consulting company which also offers contextual Agile Trainings for our clients to initiate their agile journey. How is this beneficial to you? Our Agile consultants are not academicians, all of them are hands-on agile practitioners who have seen multiple agile transformations at numerous clients, programs, teams. Their approach to a training workshop is dictated by their real world experience of implementing and bringing agility across multiple levels.

Course Content and Coverage

We are framework agnostic! Our training programs are designed and delivered keeping the ‘Agile Culture & mindset’ at its core. The idea is to kickstart your agile transformation journey against covering a prescribed content based on a particular certification.

Trainer Expertise

Evaluate the expertise and experience of the trainers employed by Benzne Consulting. Experienced trainers with real-world Agile project management experience can provide valuable insights and practical examples during the training sessions.

Customization and Flexibility

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.

Reviews and Testimonials

We have consistently been ranked very highly with great feedback on our Agile training programs by our clients. Check our review on Clutch and Google to read more about what our customers have to say about our offerings. Our customers have ranked our program as the best agile training in India.

Support and Post-Training Path

As an agile consulting company, we don’t treat our Agile training interventions as a one-off training program. Our consultants regularly help our client teams in resolving their implementation issues and help them design their transformation journeys. Agile training is a stepping stone to a full fledged shift in ways of working, culture and mindset of the overall organization. We help our clients to not only implement agile at team level but scale to organizational agility.

Ultimately, the choice of an Agile training partner depends on your specific needs, preferences, and the fit between your requirements and what the training provider offers. It’s advisable to research multiple options, read reviews, and possibly reach out to the training providers directly to gather more information before making a decision.


You should also keep in mind that you select an Agile training company, which can not only design and facilitate a great learning session but also guide and, if needed, support your agile transformation journey. Experienced hands-on Agile practitioners will be able to go beyond the standard learning routine and initiate the know-do-be Agile journey of your teams, projects and programs. Getting the ‘Knowing Agile’ part right is extremely important as ‘unlearning’ is a far more tedious process than ‘learning. Wishing you all the best!
