We believe there has to be a better way to take on an Agile and DevOps Transformation then we are currently seeing in the industry. This is why we have created the ADAPT Model. We created the ADAPT Model to help organization leaders understand their organizations and guide a successful transformation using Agile and DevOps. The model reduces the complexity of an organization to twelve key variables that must be understood and aligned for the organization to be successful in their Agile and DevOps transformation. http://www.adapttransformation.com
