What is Agile Assesment?
Agile Transformation is a journey, not a destination. It can’t be accomplished once and for all but instead, you need to constantly work on improving your processes and adapting to the changing requirements. And the first step on your journey is Agile Assessment.
Derg Technology consultants will help you see where you are at the moment, in terms of Agile transformation, and from that point design a plan how to improve your company’s Business Agility and decide on your specific needs to start practicing Agile methodologies, including Scrum, Kanban, and other frameworks.
Why Assess for Agility?

Types of Agile Assessment We Provide

How to Perform an Agile Assessment with Derg?
-
Establishment of mutually acceptable expectations and objectives for the assessment including levels of focus, meaning a team, a specific project, or the entire organization
- Completion of a short survey for cross-check among random respondents in the target area, using an Agile assessment tool covering roles, teams, communication lines, reporting, backlog and culture. This provides a level of Scrum efficiency to assist consultants in the Assessment process
- Next on the Agility assessment – an on-site meeting between the Symphony consultants and top management at the company as well as team members doing the daily work. One-on-one discussions and observations of routines give consultants a feel for the culture of the company, the attitudes, Agile maturity, and the company’s tolerance for change. These discussions also provide insight into operational anti-patterns, team pain points and organizational challenges
- Agile Assessment Report – Following the on-site visit, the organization receives a Report, covering key findings with an action plan. The Action plan will include
- Agile Transformation Roadmap
- Agile training courses
- Implementation
- Specialized coaching and support

Agile Training
If Agile Assessment ignites the process of Agile Transformation, Agile Certification and Training are usually the first stop on the Agile Transformation Journey.
Agile Consultancy and Coaching
If Agile Transformation is the process of moving to a flat organization of small autonomous teams, open, adaptable, and engaged in continuous improvement, then Agile Assessment is the ignition to that process.
