Agile Transformation

Accelerating Success with Agile Approach to Delivery

Born in the IT sphere, agile methodology has spread to all departments and industries to create self-organized and efficient teams. This proven approach is an asset in our volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. Companies are now looking for processes that provide more value to users and more flexibility, which leads to reduced time to market and more visibility.

Agile methodology cannot be restricted to one tool or method. Therefore, at Amaris Consulting we approach it through four axes that can be adjusted to any context. Here are some non-exhaustive examples of our approach:

Operational Transformation

Organizational Transformation

Operational Transformation

Train and follow up on employees in their new roles as scrum master, product owner, product manager, and business owner
Build communities of practice

Organizational Transformation

Ensure the hierarchical model contributes to the team’s efficiency and a good understanding
Create a target operating model (TOM)
Make sure the organization sponsors and supports the TOM
