  5. Goals of Going Agile

Adopting Agile is never about adopting an Agile methodology; it is always about delivering better business outcomes. Understanding business goals will align the organization around common outcomes, help inform the transformation strategy, and identify necessary trade-offs. It will also help identify if the Agile adoption is headed in the right direction.

MTA Identified 3 Main Goals for the Product Organization

PREDICTABILITY, EARLY ROI, PRODUCT FIT

Predictability

Agile tends to focus on adaptability, but predictability is most often cited as the reason for Agile transformation.

Early ROI

Many organizations struggle with 18-month delivery cycles. Agile helps your team accelerate time to market value.

Product FIT

Delivering on time is only important if you are delivering the right product. Agile can help you get the feedback you need. 

Other Goals

Quality

As organizations scale, the product quality often suffers. Agile focuses on quality from requirements through implementation.

Lower Costs

Cost savings are tough to promise, but Agile can help make sure you are only spending money on the features most likely to generate revenue.

Innovation

As companies grow, sometimes they slow down and lose the ability to innovate. Agile can help you get back your competitive edge.
