Today's empowered business is constantly changing, imposing on application delivery organizations the need for continuous change and improvement. These changes to process, technology, and organization are meant to fine-tune the delivery of solutions toward increased business value.

In this context, many organizations are adopting (or have adopted) Agile and adapting its key principles to existing delivery practices. The risk we've seen is making a bad transformation to a more Agile delivery or what many would call a bad "waterfall" on one side or rushing to adopt Agile without context and alignment on the other – and failing. The most successful approaches instead show that a well-planned and well-thought-through change program to Agile is the proper approach: understanding which business applications are the most adequate for Agile, which Agile constituents provide the most value to the business, and how Agile can be scaled throughout the enterprise. This Workshop explains the strategic context for a transformation to an Agile approach, providing also objective data about Agile adoption and the practices in play and how they interface with existing software development practices and approaches.

In this one-day Workshop, you learn how to:

• Assess your Agile readiness through hands-on exercises using Forrester tools.
• Review your strategic approach in changing for Agile.
• Look at your people and governance strategy in the context of Agile.
• Measure Agile and the adoption of practices.
