Who is Choosing Enterprise Agile?


Agile scaled to the Program Level

“We wanted to add more

value to the business

faster. So this year, our

target is 60% of our

program spend to be

done using Agile.” Craig Fischberg, CIO

GE Healthcare


One message they consistently

shared…


“Organic adoption sucks.”

– Matt Brown

Truven Health Analytics

Thomson Reuters Healthcare

Enterprise Agile Scattershot


But Customers Demand Solutions


Scattershot Agile - Uncoordinated,

Unfocused

"Over 40% of companies have adopted Agile, but less than 20% have

scaled Agile across the Enterprise." — Forrester Research, 2012

Low Value!


Enterprise Agile: Focused and

Optimized

High Value!


True Benefits of Agile Occur at Scale

• Business innovation

• Market alignment

• Strategic flexibility

• Lower risk

• Speed AND efficiency
