Many organizations have adopted Agile methods but still struggle to move at the speed that today’s markets and customers demand. This is most often due to barriers that block team-level Agile from scaling to the whole organization. And getting unblocked requires active leadership.
Our new executive guide, Unblocking Business Agility: Driving Strategic Advantage by Capturing Opportunities Faster, addresses this situation head-on. It’s designed for executives who need to capitalize on strategic opportunities quickly but whose organizations may lack the business agility required to execute reliably.
It then outlines a simple, iterative, four-step cycle for becoming unblocked and accelerating the journey toward business agility.
Four-step improvement cycle for unblocking business agility
The guide doesn’t call for a radical transformation reset or pivot. Instead, it offers practical steps executives can take right now to lean in, remove impediments, and scale their Agile foundations quickly. By doing so, they can help code business agility into their organizations’ DNA and gain a significant strategic advantage.
Of course, they don’t need to do it alone. The guide reinforces that SAFe remains the industry standard for scaling Agile ways of working. As executives lean in, they can rely on SAFe and our global community of customers, partners, and professionals for help getting unblocked quickly.
Enjoy!
