Summary

This report outlines Forrester's recommended road map for application development and delivery (AD&D) professionals working on Agile and Lean. This report is designed to help you during the planning phase of your Agile and Lean transformation. While any particular organization's path to Agile and Lean looks a little different from everyone else's in the specifics, they all follow the same general path to success: eliminating uncertainty over each stage of adoption. Agile and Lean introduce disruptive innovations that compel people to learn new ways to do their work. Each step in the road map toward Agile and Lean adoption introduces new types of uncertainty, affecting different groups like developers, testers, and business users. Therefore, the general principles for shortening and narrowing the "cone of uncertainty" apply, although they take very specific forms in each stage of the road map toward Agile and Lean adoption.
