Engaging leadership throughout the agile transformation journey: VIDEOS

Agile transformation requires an entire company to become laser-focused on delivering customer value and satisfaction, which means there are multiple places an agile transformation can stall. The 15th State of Agile Report specifies more than a dozen reasons for failed transformations, but two stand out: 41% of survey respondents identified absence of leadership participation as one of the most significant barriers to agile adoption, while 42% of respondents identified inadequate management support and sponsorship as a similar barrier. These numbers underscore just how critical C-suite participation is to the success of agile transformation. Because agile often starts in IT and product development, and spreads organically, it’s common for agile implementation across an organization to be inconsistent, so the company isn’t seeing the results it needs. Or perhaps your C-suite has committed resources, but hasn’t formalized around a strategy, values, and plan. Even if you've got the budget for agile, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The reality is this: to be successful, agile transformation must be embraced, championed, and modeled by the leadership team in order to successfully cascade throughout the entire organization.
