Using the agile adoption framework to assess agility and guide improvements
This work addresses the need for tools to guide agile process improvements in companies, but it is incremental as it builds on existing frameworks without introducing major innovations.
The paper tackles the problem of assessing and improving organizational agility by presenting the Agile Adoption Framework, which helps companies identify focus areas for enhancement, with management finding it useful for pinpointing improvement points in agile transformations.
Agility implies a set of principles that need to be followed in order to have the proposed responsiveness to change. This paper presents how the Agile Adoption Framework can be used to assess agility and pinpoint focus areas for companies that want to improve. Management found it useful in general to get data on possible focus points for improvement in their agile transformation. We believe the suggested tool could be useful as one step in the agile process assessment.
