The document discusses an agile transformation process with three key ingredients: adopting practices and evolving them, building teams to model new behaviors, and finding tools to improve cooperation. It states that after agile transformations, project success rates increased to 80% and profitability increased. The transformation involves internalizing agile principles, building an open culture, and continuous improvement. Pilot projects are used to test changes through workshops, trainings and retrospectives. Barriers to enterprise-wide transformations include organizational behavior problems and a lack of transformational leadership. Benefits include increased agility, faster development cycles, higher customer satisfaction, and increased business value and employee happiness.
This guide summaries a successful Agile transformation in Telco with a related case study.
Do not take the described steps of this guide as the only way to be successful, there can be many other alternatives for sure. However, this guide explains a way thats experienced to be successful in many companies and under different circumstances.

Why transform to Agile? What are the impediments to Agile Transformation? How to plan the Agile transformation? How to accelerate and sustain the Agile Transformation.
Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly-changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change.
Agile transformation necessitates a fundamental rethinking of how your company organizes for delivery, how it delivers value to its customers, and how it plans and measures outcomes. Agile transformation is about building enabling structures, aligning the flow of work, and measuring for outcomes based progress. It's about breaking dependencies. The reality is that this kind of change can only be led from the top. This talk will explore how executives can define an idealized end-state for the transformation, build a fiscally responsible iterative and incremental plan to realize that end-state, as well as techniques for tracking progress and managing change.

Exploring Agile Transformation and Scaling PatternsMike Cottmeyer
The goal of any enterprise agile adoption strategy is NOT to adopt agile. Companies adopt agile to achieve better business outcomes. Large organizations have no time for dogma and one-size-fits-all thinking when it comes to introducing agile practices. These companies need pragmatic guidance for safely and incrementally introducing structure, principles, and ultimately practices that will result in greater long term, sustainable business results. This talk will introduce a framework for safely, pragmatically, and incrementally introducing agile to help you achieve your business goals.

Having reviewed a number of Agile adoption approaches by big consulting companies given to organizations within the Kingdom, it's clear that many of them don't have the appropriate backgrounds to perform Agile transformations.
This session will discuss the Agile transformation adoption roadmap from real practitioners with numerous Agile adoptions in Saudi Arabia.
We will discuss what to try, what not to avoid, and some general things to consider.
What are the Agile Metrics That Matter Most? Are they at the team-level? project/project? What about the people-side of agile (the "soft stuff"). What are common pitfalls to avoid? We categorize agile metrics into those about Value, Flow, Quality & Culture, and identify the most frequently used (and misused) in each of those areas.

Our Agile Transformation journey started about 20 months ago. In this talk I am going to share some of the key challenges faced by me as an Agile Coach and how did I over come them. As a change agent you will learn few critical tips or tricks from my experience and implement them in your transformation journey at your organization.
Teams and organizations new to agile quickly discover that adopting agile frameworks causes pain. This is normal and to be expected; however, they often address only the symptoms in attempting to alleviate their pain and never truly get to the root cause dysfunction that needs to be treated. This presentation outlines some of the most common pains, explores the course that teams and organizations most often attempt, and suggests treatments that will have longer-lasting impactful effects.
At Cegeka we've developed an Agile Transformation approach, based on my Agile Transformation model and on the Situational Coaching Model, developed by myself and Jan De Baere. We presented this on the 17 of November to a group of business leaders and agile leaders.
Life Has Not Been That Rosy With Agile : Rahul SudameoGuild .
In my experience, Agile adoption started in some of the organizations with lot of hype and inflated expectations. And in such cases, if Agile transformation is not handled properly, it can result in multiple challenges rather than providing the expected benefits.
This practical experience sharing session would cover some such problems I faced while applying Agile in different environments. The audience practicing Agile can relate some of these challenges with their own environment as well. The attendees who are on their path to Agile transformation can learn from the lessons and mistakes shared by the speaker.
The session would cover challenges observed due to nature of the project, customer-vendor engagement model, application of processes, attitude of people rolling out agile, unrealistic expectations, conflict in roles and responsibilities. It would also highlight challenges introduced to some of the roles (like Project/QA Manager/Manual Tester etc.) in Agile environment and impact on billing / project contracts / SOW etc.
Agile Transformation: People, Process and Tools to Make Your Transformation S...QASymphony
Many companies are currently going through Agile Transformation or thinking about making the transition to agile. While moving to agile can create great opportunity for organizations, the journey to get there can be highly challenging. If you don’t have the right people, process and tools in place, the true benefits of agile may not be recognized. In this webinar, Andrew Stickland, Head of Client Services, for Clearvision and Kevin Dunne, VP of Business Development and Strategy for QASymphony will discuss the best practices for making the agile transformation. In this webinar, we will try to answer the following questions:
- Who are the people I need in place?
- What are the core processes that I need to change?
- What tools do I need?

Agile Transformation: The Difference Between Success and FailureSunil Mundra
Of all the organizations that have attempted to be Agile, only few have truly succeeded. The primary reasons for lack of success appears to be the lack of understanding the difference between Agile Adoption and Transformation, and in failing to understand that Agile is a mindset and not a collection of processes and that transformation has to do with significant changes to the organization eco system. Evidence is also available that companies have found it much harder to do Agile Transformation as compared to Agile Adoption
This presentation showcases 2 contrasting case studies, one not successful and the other a success in agile transformation, to bring out the key variables that determine success or lack of it in Agile Transformation.
We are giving estimation for planing budget, sales proposals etc. but we can not estimate variablility and complexity of software systems. So we need a better approach to forecast team throughput by using past infomation, here is the #noestimation.

Agile 2013 - Lean Change for Enabling Agile TransformationsAlexis Hui
Experience report summarizing our experiences with agile transformation in mid-large sized IT organizations and challenges we faced with current methods available. As a result, we saw a need for a better change approach to help us and others in the agile community with agile transformations. Borrowing thinking and tools from Lean Startup, Kanban and Kotter we have defined a structured framework known as Lean Change. The premise behind our thinking is that successful agile transformation requires learning and feedback as the keys for success. Lean Change is founded on three concepts, co-creation of changes through negotiated change, experiment based objectives using minimum viable changes, and validated learning to guide changes through a structured validation lifecycle.
Erhan koseoglu Delighting vodafone turkey's customers via agile transformationAgile Lietuva
In big organizations like Vodafone Turkey, it is always a challenge to start a change initiative. Especially in a bureaucratic and awkward environment, there is a huge risk of resistance to change and therefore a huge risk of failure for an Agile transformation initiative. This lecture talks about the real case study of how Agile transformation has started as a pilot inside the Vodafone IT and how in just a few months that pilot turned into an organizational change initiative via the establishment of Scrum Studio leading to innovation culture and a superior customer experience as a result. The starting motivation of this transformation, the achievements via Scrum, the motivation achieved via empowered Scrum teams, the improved transparency via evidence-based management, the KAIZEN culture that is triggered with the transformation, the more effective collaboration between the parties and the significant positive reflections of all these on the customer side as results will be explored in details through the lecture. This lecture is for everyone who is interested about starting an Agile transformation inside a big enough company and growing that initiative through the whole organization via creating customer delight.

Vygantas Kazlauskas - How Agile saved Christmas in EstoniaAgile Lietuva
In Estonia, Omniva delivers 18 million parcels per year. In 2018, we set the goal to completely renew our information system by Christmas which is our busiest time of the year. We also opened a brand new logistics centre with the most modern automated sorting line in the Baltics. Without Agile, Christmas could have been very sad in Estonia…
Executive agility to be able to respond effectively in chaosZXM Webinar - Mia Horrigan
Now more than ever, the ability to respond to change over 'following a plan' couldn't ring truer. Hindsight is 20/20 but none of us could have predicted the unprecedented effect that the Corona Virus has wrought upon every aspect of our lives. Now we are working from home, readjusting to a new 'norm', but all the while living in a state of chaos whilst still 'keeping the lights on' in the space of not months or years but in weeks, days and even hours.
Organisations have already had to rapidly change the products or services they 'traditionally' brought to market and reinvent themselves at lightning speed to not just stay relevant but to actually survive.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
