Cigniti\u2019s Agile Maturity Assessment Model<\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
Cigniti\u2019s new Agile framework has been developed to bring about engineering excellence, demand flow, and ownership and move the project to product. The Agile Maturity assessment is based on adopting Agile values, principles, concepts, and artifacts.<\/p>\n
Our new assessment approach will help in benchmarking the Agile engineering process and bring about a continuous improvement in the entire workflow from start to finish.<\/p>\n
The Agile New Framework is an end-to-end framework built on best practices and industry-standard models, which helps assess the projects based on the Agile fundamental principles, processes, practices, tools, and skills to transform the organization to a high maturity \u2018Scale Agile\u2019 state.<\/p>\n
Cigniti\u2019s new Agile framework is built on the 10 defined Agile pillars to assess the overall maturity of the Agile practices implemented, as shown below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nS.
