Agile Transformation Services

There is a lot more to Agile than just a process or a set of practices.
Agile (or Agility) is more of a mindset—a different way of thinking. Transitioning from ‘doing Agile’ to “being Agile” requires more than just adopting a set of practices; it requires an organization to live and breathe agile values, using those values to guide decisions at all levels. In other words, it is a transformation of the culture.

When helping organizations make this transformation, Lyons Hathaway takes a holistic approach. Applying an agile approach to adoption, we work directly with cross-functional business and technology teams to establish a baseline, determine transformation goals, and prioritize program activities. By engaging with all stakeholders – from leadership to delivery teams – we help clients identify and achieve their short-term goals while laying down a foundation that will support future improvements and innovations.

Enterprise Agile Coaching

Our enterprise agile coaches provide planning and support services when multiple lines of business are transitioning to Agile in parallel. They work with senior management to plan organizational structures that support agile transformations. They work with senior architects to plan the transition to an agile approach to Enterprise Architecture, and with testing leaders to create and mentor teams in agile testing approaches.

They work with IT infrastructure leaders to plan and operationalize an agile approach to infrastructure. Typically enterprise agile coaches have extensive experience working with senior leaders in large organizations, an understanding of all major technology roles, from development and testing, to project management, to product development, to product Portfolio Management, an in-depth understanding of systems thinking and planning, and world-class communication and facilitation skills.

Agile Coaching Services

Agile coaches provide day-to-day guidance to managers and teams and ensure that agile practices take hold within teams and across the enterprise.
Lyons Hathaway coaches bring extensive experience to help teams avoid pitfalls and operate more effectively. They also help organizations evaluate tools, implement advanced techniques such as one-piece flow and continuous integration, scale to larger projects, and track progress towards “Agile Maturity”.

Lyons Hathaway coaches are equipped to not only improve the effectiveness of teams, but also support the agile transformation process and disseminate “agile thinking” across different business functions.
