1 Assess your current state

Before you can customize agile methodologies for your organization, you need to understand your current situation and identify the gaps and opportunities for improvement. You can use various tools and techniques to assess your current state, such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, observations, audits, metrics, and benchmarks. You should also involve your stakeholders, such as customers, employees, managers, and partners, in the assessment process, to get their feedback and perspectives. The goal of this step is to create a baseline of your current performance, culture, and capabilities, and to define the problems and goals that you want to address with agile.

?? Customize with purpose: Preserve Agile core principles while adapting to your organization's unique context. ?? Analyze your organization's culture, constraints, and goals before implementing changes. ?? Start slow, iterate fast: Introduce Agile elements gradually, focusing on value delivery and continuous improvement. ?? Educate and empower: Teach teams Agile values and encourage experimentation with different techniques. ?? Foster mindset shift: True agility comes from changed thinking, not just adopting ceremonies. ?? Reflect and refine: Regularly gather feedback and metrics to guide improvements in your Agile approach. ?? The goal is enhancing value delivery and adaptability, not achieving "perfect Agility".

Assessment should start by understanding delivery models. Evaluate customer landscape to learn which release frequency will work for them. For eg: In banking domain cost of release and rollout of release is significant. For retail they may be able to accept quick releases.

2 Choose an agile methodology

The next step is to choose an agile methodology that suits your organization's needs, goals, and challenges. There are many agile methodologies to choose from, such as Scrum, Kanban, XP, Lean, SAFe, and others. Each agile methodology has its own principles, practices, roles, artifacts, and events, and they vary in terms of complexity, scalability, flexibility, and adaptability. You should compare and contrast the different agile methodologies, and consider factors such as your organization's size, structure, culture, industry, customer expectations, and delivery frequency. You should also consult with your stakeholders, especially your teams and customers, to get their input and buy-in on the agile methodology that you choose.

Organisation can choose multiple models. For eg: Scrum for engineering, Kanban for support. Should avoid the obsession to implement single model across the company.

3 Adapt the agile methodology

Once you have chosen an agile methodology for your organization, you need to adapt it to your specific context and constraints. You should not blindly follow the agile methodology as a prescriptive recipe, but rather use it as a guiding framework that you can tailor and modify according to your situation. You should consider aspects such as your team size, composition, skills, location, communication, collaboration, tools, processes, governance, and quality standards. You should also experiment with different practices, techniques, and tools, and measure their impact and value. You should also seek feedback from your stakeholders, especially your teams and customers, and continuously inspect and adapt your agile methodology to improve your outcomes.

Customizing Agile for data science products draws from my personal experience. We blend Agile frameworks with data science's iterative nature. Sprints flex around experimentation, embracing uncertainty. Backlogs prioritize data acquisition, modeling, and insights. Daily stand-ups align tech and analytics teams, fostering collaboration. Regular reviews ensure evolving models meet business goals. Adaptability remains key; Agile's structure fuels data science innovation.

4 Train and coach your teams

Another key step to customize agile methodologies for your organization is to train and coach your teams on the agile methodology that you have chosen and adapted. You should provide your teams with the necessary knowledge, skills, and mindset to adopt and practice the agile methodology effectively and efficiently. You should also provide them with the necessary support, guidance, and feedback to overcome any challenges or difficulties that they may face along the way. You can use various methods and resources to train and coach your teams, such as workshops, webinars, courses, books, blogs, podcasts, videos, mentors, coaches, and communities of practice. The goal of this step is to enable your teams to become self-organized, cross-functional, collaborative, customer-focused, and value-driven.

The goal of customizing agile methodologies is to create a framework that adapts to your organization's needs while adhering to agile principles. Here's how one can effectively tailor agile practices to suit your organization's needs: 1. Assess Current State: conduct a comprehensive assessment of your organization's current state. 2. Choose the Right Methodology: Select an agile methodology that best aligns with your organization's goals and culture. 3. Involve Stakeholders: Engage stakeholders at all levels—customers, employees, managers, partners—to gather their perspectives and feedback. 4. Training and Coaching. 5. Continuous monitoring & process tweakings.

Training is a critical aspect of agile transformations. Having everyone on the same page with a fundamental understating of agile ways of working. A lean Agile mindset changes your worldview. You begin to see waste in the system everywhere you look. The foundations of Agility are critical and learning the concepts just-in-time makes it stick. Make sure your transformation roadmap includes good, fundamental training.

5 Align your organization

The final step to customize agile methodologies for your organization is to align your organization with the agile methodology that you have chosen and adapted. You should ensure that your organization's vision, mission, strategy, goals, values, and culture are aligned with the agile methodology's principles, values, and practices. You should also ensure that your organization's structure, roles, policies, procedures, systems, and incentives are aligned with the agile methodology's requirements, expectations, and outcomes. You should also engage with your organization's leadership, management, and other stakeholders, to communicate the benefits and challenges of the agile methodology, and to secure their commitment and support for the agile transformation. The goal of this step is to create a coherent and consistent agile organization that can deliver value to its customers and stakeholders.

Primary reason for failure to align is due to top management. Along with commitment top management should be forced to practice agile methodologies.

Fostering a culture of collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement that aligns with agile principles is a critical step to ensure successful implementation and sustainment of agile practices and this is the main reason of failure in organization as top management lacks agility & adaptability.

Automation opportunities should be identified early on. Get rid of legacy disconnected systems. Agile coach should be provided with adequate authority to audit and punish non compliance.
