Agile at Scale

In a recent report The State Of Agile 2017: Agile At Scale Forrester stated that DevOps adoption is beginning to drive Agile adoption and that many organisations are adopting both simuultaneously in large scale transformations, i.e. they are going Lean as suggested in the 3rd layer of the DAF Framework (see: The Way of DAU (including the DAF) ).

Additionally, Forrester identifies major impediments:

• Culture & Behaviour,
• Availability and Commitment of skilled product owners,
• Effective Executive Leadership,
• Lack of project / programme frameworks

As key blockers to successful adoption which further re-inforces the Digital Adoption Framework principles and recommended activities for iteratively adopting a digital business model.
