How Agile Planning can Boost Digital Business Transformation

"We're practicing scrum, scaling agile, but not seeing the benefits we were expecting," is a comment I hear all too often. The simple answer is, following scrum ceremonies and focusing on scaling rituals isn't going to achieve agile mindsets, culture, and transformation.

In my latest 5 Minutes with @NYIke video, I share how agile can be a force multiplier - or in other words, a path to accelerate digital transformation. Here are four takeaways:

• Multidisciplinary teams must include business, technologists, and data specialists
• Agile practices must focus on planning 1.5X more than delivery
• Self-organizing teams must be involved in creating standards
• Roadmaps are feasible in agile, but it requires teams to plan, estimate, and prioritize using feedback
