91制片厂 Inc. is a global leader in providing IT research and advice. Info-Tech鈥檚 products and services combine actionable insight and relevant advice with ready-to-use tools and templates that cover the full spectrum of IT concerns.

Analyst Perspective

Use the wisdom of crowds to understand how ready you are for Agile transformation.

Agile transformations can be difficult and complex to implement. That鈥檚 because they require fundamental changes in the way an organization thinks and behaves (and many organizations are not ready for these changes).

Use Info-Tech鈥檚 Agile Readiness Assessment to broadly survey the organization鈥檚 readiness for Agile along six dimensions:

• Culture
• Learning
• Automation
• Integrated teams
• Metrics
• Governance

The survey results will help you to examine and address those areas that are most likely to hinder your move to Agile.
