- 57. THEORY OF TRANSFORMATION// Adopting agile at scale is about defining structure, establishing governance, and creating a metrics and tooling strategy that supports agility
- 58. THEORY OF TRANSFORMATION// Anything that gets in the way of forming teams, building backlogs, and producing working tested software is an impediment to transformation

- 99. 99 STEP ONE WHY HOWWHAT Agile transformation isn’t something that can be done to an organization. They have to be full participants Executive Steering Committee Transformation Leadership Team Holding the organization accountable Remove Impediments Plan the work Review Progress Inspect and Adapt
- 100. 100 STEP TWO WHY HOWWHAT We have to have some idea of where we are going before we start We will accept the plan will change Create a working hypothesis for structure, governance, and metrics Plan to progressively elaborate Transformation Workshop Pilot Broad Organization Rollout Create Feedback Loops
- 101. 101 STEP THREE WHY HOWWHAT We have to be able to give the organization some idea of what we are doing, when, and how long Expeditions Basecamps Sequenced in Time What teams are going to be formed? What training do they need? What coaching do they need? When will this all happen?
- 102. 102 STEP FOUR WHY HOWWHAT Very similar to an agile release plan, we want a rolling 90-day, fairly specific view of what is going to take place Transformation leadership team meets periodically to plan forward, assess progress, and adjust as necessary Week by week training and coaching plans Detailed resource planning Expected activities and outcomes.
- 103. 103 STEP FIVE WHY HOWWHAT Very similar to a sprint cycle in Scrum We want to periodically assess progress, retrospect, and adjust ELT reviews progress against strategy and outcomes TLT focuses on how well the plan is moving along Scheduled recurring meetings Review planning artifacts Review metrics Improvement plans
- 104. 104 STEP SIX WHY HOWWHAT The whole reason we are doing this is to get better business outcomes This is where we begin justifying the investment Create hypotheses Conduct experiments Demonstrate outcomes Pivot based on what we learn Assessments Status Reports Coaching Plans
- 105. 105 STEP SEVEN WHY HOWWHAT We want to be able to trace improvements in the system to tangible business benefits Business metric baselines Regularly show progress Update coaching plans as necessary Assessment Outcomes Transformation Metrics Business Metrics
- 106. 106 STEP EIGHT WHY HOWWHAT Our understanding will evolve throughout the transformation Re-assess the End-State Vision based on the evolving understanding Refine the End-State Vision and the Roadmap
- 107. 107 STEP NINE WHY HOWWHAT Letting everyone know what is going on and the success of the program will create excitement and energy Regular communication from leadership Be transparent about progress and impediments Town Halls Executive Roundtables Signage Information Radiators Cadence of Accountability
- 108. 108 STEP TEN WHY HOWWHAT Understand what’s in it for everyone involved and help them see where they fit in the new organization Clarity Accountability Measureable progress Team assignments Staffing plans Job descriptions Job aids Communities of Practice
