Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE once said, “If the rate of change on the Outside exceeds the rate of change on the Inside, the end is near.”
In the Scaled Agile Framework, or SAFe, author Dean Leffingwell correctly describes the beneficial outcomes of Agile to be an increase in productivity, faster time to market, defect reduction, and happier, more motivated employees. But is this enough?
Case studies published from QSM Associates research shows just how far these metrics can be driven in the best high-performance Agile environments. These have been published in numerous QSM papers and in books such as “Succeeding with Agile” by Mike Cohn among others. How would performance levels at these thresholds scale up across an enterprise? Yet the question remains: How would company leaders and teams transform that horsepower into “Building the Right Things” that drive value into the hands of their clients and thereby disrupt their industries, driving change?
