Senior Consultant Rob Anteau, has been working with Agile and waterfall teams for decades. As a way to highlight pragmatic Agile in practice, we are sharing a recent example of an impactful Agile adoption he oversaw for a client.

The idea of adopting Agile methodologies may seem daunting. However, our experienced team is confident Agile principles can deliver results to your organization. Here we boil down the first steps leadership teams can take to build their Agile muscle and the frameworks to utilize along the way.

The main theme of the retrospective is accountability. The beauty of the retrospective is its simplicity. It’s not limited to software development, or even IT. Any team can adopt this ceremony on an iterative basis, adapting it to their needs and situation.

While there are many frameworks that organizations utilize for scaling Agile, there is one common element across all of them: a need to plan and coordinate across multiple business and IT teams to promote consistent value delivery quarter-over-quarter, year-over-year. That’s where Big Room Planning comes into play.

Everyone has an opinion: Agile works for tech, but not for business. Agile transformation is just another buzz phrase. Agile does have its limits, but for those organizations seeking change, we have developed a pragmatic approach to help businesses find success while transforming their organization.
