Trigger-based Model to Assess the Readiness of IT Organizations to Agile Transformation

Abstract

The process of change the method of project management from waterfall to agile is called “agile transformation” (AT). The decision to agile transformation is undertaken based on many different factors. Many companies decide to abandon classic, waterfall methodology for agile without prior analysis. This approach makes the processes of agile transformation is hard to control and frequently the implementation of agile fails. The results of unsuccessful transformation are delayed projects, exceed budget or requirements are not satisfied. This paper presents key factors and enablers in the agile transformation process. The authors indicate what are the stages of readiness to agile transformation and what factors should be deeply analysed before the agile transformation process. During the research authors defined four main groups of AT triggers with the examples and three groups of factors, which should be assess before transformation process. It has been observed that accurate assessment of organization is crucial for bring the company closer to the AT’s start point.
