Agile Transition Strategy

Transition to Agile

An explanation of the steps and strategies involved in successfully transitioning to Agile practices within an organization.

The Agile Practice Guide, 2017, Pg 30, provides guidance on the agile transition strategy. It recommends using a hybrid development approach as a strategy to transition to agile starting with a less risky project with a medium to low uncertainty, and gradually trying more complex projects that require more of those techniques to be added.

Shu Ha Ri is a popular agile adoption pattern for teams new to agile.
