8 Benefits of Digital Agility

“The biggest part of our digital transformation is changing the way we think.”

During this time of pandemic, we all have learned a new lesson to be ready with planning and preparation as disruption can occur anytime changing our way of living and business. Companies that were more inclined toward digital businesses were the ones to sustain and flourish during this duration. Even when the effect of a pandemic is declining we can see that the businesses seeking improvement in their processes and believing in digital agility have an edge of being successful.

Now is the time for every business to change its way of thinking and shift towards agility in every possible area. As agility means, an ability to transform quickly and easily with change. We can say that agility is a key to sustaining and flourishing in this rapidly changing time.

What is Digital Agility?

The organization can quickly and easily implement the processes by applying digital technologies tools, processes, and software for their basic functions. With changing world and changing circumstances it becomes necessary for businesses to leave their outdated systems, software, and tools and embrace the change with new and simple-to-understand instruments and systems. With the implementation of the right tools and a correct mindset, it becomes easy to work efficiently and easily. Digital agility not only helps businesses to transform but also transforms the working and satisfaction of working employees.

Why Agile Digital Transformation is Necessary?

Even though digital transformation is done and new technology and tools are updated in an organization but still the traditional mindset of never-failing remains the same. When the enterprise works with a traditional mindset of never failing, meeting the targets and objectives the executives and managers claim their result as a success even if it is not. This traditional way makes executives, managers, and even enterprises have false confidence making them lie to themselves and learn from false facts and false experiences. Even if some of the questions are ignored or intimidated. This causes to builds a false foundation for an organization making it collapses sometime later.

Whereas by using the agile mindset organization will provide an understanding of experimentation in the executives and employees creating a foundation of learning based on a series of experiments. Creating a belief that change is worth the effort and it will guide to the required results with proper facts and experiences.

Benefits of Agile Digital Transformation

Provides Flexibility

Agility provides a high amount of flexibility in projects and business. Even in the starting phase of applying agile organizations are more rigid and upfront with their requirements agile helps to obtain those and as the project kicks off it accepts the change and expects further changes. At any point of the project if the change is required they are flexible to test and switch to the new requirement. Not only for the project, but agility is flexible in business priorities also.

Priority to Business Value

Agility understands only technology is not a solution to any issues whatever the domain it applies to including digital transformation. So agile methodology always starts with ‘why’ and a complete approach is aligned and responds to business needs.

Frequent Value Delivery

Agile delivers the solution in smaller chunks making features deliver incremental as the project evolves. The smaller task ensures that every task is completed with quality and care instead of running to obtain a higher goal at the end.

Regular On-going Improvement

Agile teams are always learning from the customer’s feedback, collaborations, adjustments, and iterations. They always review what success is and why the failure is caused. This not only improves one's knowledge but applying this knowledge and learning in further development of the project is also implemented in the teams.

Cost Control and Reduces Risk

Agile allows budget refinement after every interval. Sprints are of the same duration making sure to have the same budget for every sprint and proper estimation of work accomplishment in sprints ensuring the cost control. Daily updates, constant communication, and regular testing reduce the chances of failure to a minimum hence reducing the risk.

Provide Transparency

Regular collaboration, communication, and updates on the task and issues within the teams create higher transparency in projects and organization resulting in increased trust among teams.

Maximized Communication and Engagement

Completing a project requires the collaboration of many teams agile encourages and also implements a process that enhances communication and engagement within teams and individuals.

High Quality

Quality of work is improved as employees have work satisfaction, transparency, self-management, and testing and optimization from the very start of the project. Quality of teams is also improved as the mindset of teams is changed to agile making them consider the team as their family showing us “when a team feels like family, they will go all out to love and serve one another.”
