Enterprise Agile Transformation In our consulting/coaching engagements with

What all the areas to address? Where to begin? What are the sequence of initiatives/activities to take
up? How to monitor progress of overall transformation?
Agile Flight Path analogy has been useful in these contexts both for the Scrum teams and for the management team

Agile Flight Path is used like a Kanban board to indicate the enterprise wide Agile adoption progress – which projects are in which stage. An assessment instrument is used to characterize the adoption stages. Project teams do the self-assessment using this instrument.
