Operating Model / Rescuing Failed Scaled Agile Transformations
Don't just stand up!
Despite Agile's long history, many companies still adhere to infrequent release cycles. The prevalence of **fake Agile** lets them believe they're adopting Agile without meaningful process improvements. Notably, SAFe and slow-releasing scrum teams epitomize this trend, missing out on Agile's full benefits.
How we can help
The Scaled Agile model tries to extend the benefits of agility beyond the digital/tech groups to core operations and functions. Unfortunately, all they get are stand-ups instead of agile collaboration, because they never build the product and platform capabilities that they need. If your transformation has stalled or failed to deliver the expected results, our team can help you get back on track by establishing cross-functional teams, and setting up governance processes to ensure transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Build product and platform capabilities
One of the key challenges with Scaled Agile transformations is that they often fail to build up the necessary product and platform capabilities. Our team can help you address this challenge by working with you to develop the skills and expertise needed to create and manage successful product and platform teams. We'll help you establish cross-functional teams that are focused on delivering value to your customers and driving business results, and provide training and coaching to ensure that your teams have the necessary skills to succeed.
Move from project funding to persistent funding
Reliance on project-based funding can lead to a lack of continuity and focus on short-term goals. Our team can help you move to persistent funding, providing dedicated resources for product and platform teams. This approach enables teams to focus on delivering continuous value to customers, aligning with business goals and customer needs. We'll work with you to establish a funding model that supports your teams and drives long-term value creation.
Set up Transformation Office
It's essential to establish a Transformation Office that can provide guidance, support, and oversight. Our team can help you set up a Transformation Office that is responsible for driving the transformation forward, tracking progress, and identifying areas for improvement. We'll work with you to establish clear roles and responsibilities, set up governance processes, and provide training and coaching to ensure that your Transformation Office is effective and efficient.
