An agile maturity assessment is an exercise\/tool to evaluate the current state of agile maturity and check on how successful the agile implementation is in an organization. The Agile maturity model captures the areas for improvement and establishes goals to upscale how your team works to adapt to business changes efficiently.<\/p>\n

Agile adoption statistics show a significant growth of 86% in Agile adoption within software development teams. However, if you have a close look based on the research, the overwhelming percentage of organizations are not implementing the core agile principles and values correctly.<\/p>\n

Many common barriers in terms of cultural clashes, absence of leadership participation, and organizational resistance to change are seen across the organizations that have remained unchanged for the past several years.<\/p>\n

Why Assess the Agile Maturity of Your Company?<\/h2>\n

Understanding Agile maturity is an essential first step before you can plan for a transformation<\/a>. In my journey of conducting maturity assessments for organizations, one of the key observations I have noticed is the inability to adapt to the market rapidly and ad-hoc changes in a productive and cost-efficient manner.<\/p>\n

The common tendency of people is to take agility as an excuse for no planning, roadmap, discipline, or documentation. At times, managing the ad hoc changes may introduce an element of risk to the process integrity and performance<\/a> of the project.<\/p>\n

With such an uncertain future, building the Agile<\/a> culture and mindset embedded with better understanding, collaboration, flexibility, and learning is necessary to meet the customer\u2019s needs with improved quality and speed to market.<\/p>\n

Hence, assessing and continually improving your company\u2019s agile maturity is vital by evaluating the organization’s various focus areas and agile practices.<\/p>\n
