Many businesses value predictability over agility. Becoming more agile is secondary to becoming more predictable. Fortunately, Agile is not only more adaptable than traditional waterfall project management, it’s also very predictable. How is that possible? First, Agile project plans are based on the empirical velocity of the Agile team –not an estimate made months before during the planning phase of the project. And second, the Agile project plan is refined at the end of every sprint based on the actual performance of the team. Agile project burn charts give you most of the measures and metrics you need to manage the iron triangle of project management: scope, schedule, and budget.

How do you know if Agile is right for you? The success of an Agile transformation in an enterprise depends on a number of factors – the experience of the teams, the type of software you’re building, the availability of resources, the iron triangle of scope, schedule, and budget, and last but not least the corporate culture. This session will provide an overview of a survey instrument to assess critical success factors for Agile within an organization to help the leadership team decide whether Agile is a good fit.
