Why and How to Assess Agile Maturity

There are many reasons why companies adopt Lean-Agile but not many challenge that agile ways of working support higher product adoption rates, cost savings via productivity gains in developing and higher employee engagement.

How to Measure
You can use standard or customized Assessments. Depending on how you have structured your agile journey and organization you can measure on Enterprise, Portfolio or Team levels, and across roles.
We use Crawl, Walk, Run and Fly terminology to emphasize the flow of movement that maturity depicts within a team.
