Our Context
• Consumer Internet space
• Critical success factors
– Innovation
– Speed
– UX
• Agility is more about results
than beliefs, labels or rituals
![Page 8: Managing Large Scale Agile Transformation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/554c5303b4c905452e8b4902/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Agile and Scrum Adoption Program (“ASAP”)
Facilitate
• center-‐wide agile adoption
Focus
• “be agile” rather than “do agile”
Framework
• generally label-‐agnostic, but result-‐oriented
![Page 9: Managing Large Scale Agile Transformation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/554c5303b4c905452e8b4902/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The “ASAP” journey
Establish Credibility
Scaling Up
Self-Sustaining
![Page 10: Managing Large Scale Agile Transformation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/554c5303b4c905452e8b4902/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Establish credibility • Agile is about democratic decision-making and
self-organizing teams, how can we ‘impose’ it
top-down?
• Don’t preach Agile. Solve specific problem(s).
• Don’t boil the ocean. Create beachheads.
• Show real results.
• ROI ≠ $$$ Saved.
• ROI = $$$ Earned

Metrics Strategy
“Readiness”
“Adoption”
“Efficiency”
“Effectiveness”
![Page 13: Managing Large Scale Agile Transformation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/554c5303b4c905452e8b4902/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Self-Sustaining
• Starting-up is easy; sustaining is tough!
• Strength of transformation is only
tested when scaffolds are taken-off
• Implement agile practices that align
with results you want
![Page 14: Managing Large Scale Agile Transformation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/554c5303b4c905452e8b4902/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What are we learning?
• Credibility is extremely important
• Scaling up ≠ 100% Adoption
• If results grow, processes will sustain!
• Remember – the goal still is to deliver
real business value
