How to Measure Agile Transformation Progress in Organizations
Do you frequently question the success of your agile transformation? Or, more specifically, how do you measure it? Questions like ‘Has productivity increased?’ ‘Are we growing on the right track?’ ‘Are deliveries being made at the right pace?’ ‘Are users and our customers satisfied with the product?’ begin to pop up. And of course, these questions require good answers. Knowing precisely what you should be measuring and what it all means can be challenging when switching from measuring outputs to assessing outcomes.
Based on our vast global expertise, we decided?to give you the ability to effectively evaluate your agile transformation. So, if you've been struggling to come up with how to assess the overall impact of your Agile transformation, we've provided a list of 4 ways to assess your agile transformation progress.

1.???????Cultural Change
Culture is a key determinant of an agile transformation success. When you transform your organization to produce value more quickly, you achieve this by having people think and act differently. Culture change requires that structures are dismantled in Agile environments in favor of transparency, cooperation, and communication.

As structures are being implemented across projects, they need to be examined to see how well they are delivering for your organization. A good place to start is by having product owners on each of your scrum teams. You may determine whether hierarchies are dissolving in favor of a more synergistic approach by having regular conversations with the product owners and scrum leaders.

2.?????Client Centricity as Priority
A hallmark of agile management is its dedication to customer-centricity. Thus, it's crucial to constantly monitor indicators that capture client experience. Encourage your employees to establish objectives for enhancing the client experience. Make sure that everyone knows how you track customer satisfaction and Net Promoter Score and compare your progress to your targets. To better understand the views and opinions of their most important audience, agile teams should look beyond income and sales data.

3.?????Increased Creativity and Productivity
An infusion of fresh ideas and energy should emerge when companies let go of strict hierarchies and promote collaboration. If you have been using Agile management for some time now, then it is time to find out if your meetings produce new, original solutions to problems that have persisted for a while. Are your teams reviewing current procedures and coming up with fresh ideas to simplify regular tasks? The answer should be a yes. Agile management encourages employees to feel free in proposing new ideas by embracing communication and transparency, even though they may have previously felt constrained by hierarchy. The Agile methodology is successful when the team is creative.

4.?????Value to the Business
Business success is ultimately measured in terms of monetary value, and should be measured. Long-term effects of agile transformation should include faster product creation, improved?customer experience, and yes, better financial performance for the business. Agile practices’ visible impact on corporate revenues can be used to support the argument for the transformation's value and, in certain situations, to inspire other business units to make a similar shift.
Taking a closer look at the above list reveals that Implementing changes, evaluating their effectiveness, and making adjustments in response to those evaluations are the steps necessary to create sustained success. For businesses to get the most out of their Agile transformations, a careful assessment is crucial. This assessment might mean the difference between a successful effort and a launch failure.
