The success of your Agile transformation depends not only on training your

teams. The best Agile teams—the ones with the highest yield and the lowest

risk—are supported by an Agile organization. And an Agile organization is steered

by an Agile leadership.

Your leadership approach, corporate culture, and

even your incentive systems can potentially affect your

enterprise’s ability to be Agile. This is because you can’t

simply do Agile; you have to be Agile.

Our Organizational Discovery session is an in-depth

look into how your business works and who runs it

using what methods. Therefore, it is a key component

to beginning a smooth Agile transformation. Through

personal interviews, questionnaires, observations of

your teams at work, and Q&A sessions, we can discover

what makes you you. Once we establish the current

state of the organization, we can identify your goals for

implementing Agile. It’s important at this stage to know

exactly why you want to “go Agile”—and we can help

you pin that down. We also seek out the areas that need

improvement at the program, team, and technical levels

and define how to address them.

Session Outcomes

The key deliverable for the Organizational Discovery session is a list of recommendations to be used during roadmapping, which could include the following:

» Initial findings, observations, major risks or impediments,

and recommendations for an Agile transformation backlog,

including:

» How to organize staff into Scrum teams

» How to improve workflow with Kanban, Lean Startup, or

Scrum

» Backlog items to ensure coaching consistency across the

organization and to develop internal coaches

» Recommended metrics and KPIs that you can use to inspect and

adapt and to monitor ongoing improvements

This deliverable is used in both our Executive Workshop session and our Roadmapping session.
