Agile isn't a destination—it's a journey. A journey fueled by learning, feedback, and continuous improvement. The Agile Maturity Assessment isn't about compliance or checklists; it's about understanding where you are today and how you can grow tomorrow.
Measure What Matters
At the heart of this approach is focusing on what truly drives agility. Rather than chasing process for the sake of it, we measure elements that define a thriving Agile environment:
Team Collaboration & Autonomy: Are teams empowered to make decisions and work collaboratively without bottlenecks? Customer Centricity: Are customer needs driving the priorities and the product decisions? Delivery Flow & Predictability: Is the team delivering valuable increments consistently and predictably? Leadership Support: Are leaders actively enabling agility through guidance, vision, and removing obstacles? Continuous Improvement Culture: Is the organization learning from every iteration and evolving its ways of working? How to Use This Assessment
Agile maturity assessments work best when they're treated as a conversation, not a compliance tool. Here’s how to approach it:
Conversation Over Compliance: Use the assessment to facilitate dialogue within teams, not to enforce rules. Self-Assessment and Co-Creation: Invite teams to evaluate themselves and participate in designing improvements. Track Maturity, Not Adoption: It's not about how many Agile ceremonies you follow—it's about how mature your mindset and behaviors are across key dimensions. The Maturity Scale
Maturity isn’t binary. It’s a continuum. This model offers four levels to describe where a team or organization stands:
Foundational: Agile practices are new; teams are learning the basics and establishing routines. Emerging: Teams begin applying Agile principles with growing confidence, though inconsistencies remain. Established: Agile is embedded in the culture; practices are consistent, and performance is predictable. Sustaining: The organization continually adapts, with innovation and learning deeply integrated into daily work.
