 Beyond Agile…..
WHAT DOES AGILE MEAN?
Agility is the ability to move and change
direction and position of the body quickly
and effectively while under control.

The state or quality of being agile;
nimbleness.

Business agility is the ability of a business
to adapt rapidly and cost efficiently in
response to changes in the business
environment.
76% of global CEOs say –

   Ability to adapt will be the key to strategic
   advantage

   Business complexity is growing….

   Cost Efficiencies are the focus

   Respond quickly to new business
   opportunities & challenges…
REALITY….
Where is the focus????

                         Practices & Tools




                                   Process
Measures & Measures
What happens then????
                                    When do I know I’m Agile?

  We do stand-ups. Are we Agile?

                                     What are the Industry Best
                                     Practices?


                       How do we when we are Agile enough?


How are we doing against the industry?
What is missed out is…

  Focus on Business Goals
                                 Measures that allow for an
                                 encourage the right changes

Focus on constant improvements

                                 What are our customers saying
                                 to and about us?
