An object at rest, stays at rest. It is quite literally against the laws of physics for things to change \u2013 so we cannot expect people to do so with one impassioned call to action from an executive and a well-designed slide deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Real Agile transformation requires buy-in at every level of the organization, consistently, over a long period of time \u2013 but specifically leadership.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Agile transformation requires executives who embrace, champion, and demonstrate Agile values. It demands managers who are willing to navigate conflict in healthy ways as teams adjust to new ways of working. And it requires all of leadership to manage this change within the organization as they are learning themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without sufficient, consistent buy-in, especially from leadership, your Agile transformation is unlikely to have lasting power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/resources\/guide\/definitive-digital-transformation-guide\/enterprise-agile-transformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Read Next:<\/a> Enterprise Agile Transformation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-not-communicating-vision-and-strategy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_Communicating_Vision_and_Strategy\"><\/span><a><\/a>Not Communicating Vision and Strategy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Change is inevitable, but Agile transformation is not \u2013 it\u2019s the result of a clearly communicated, clearly defined vision and strategy. One of the most common Agile transformation challenges arises when Agile leaders fail to communicate that vision and strategy \u2013 not just at the beginning of the Agile transformation, but throughout each phase of the transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several ways for Agile leaders to not only communicate once, but continuously communicate about the vision and strategy behind the transformation. As the organization grows in Agile maturity, this vision and strategy will likely shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing clear, open channels of communication upwards and outwards early in the transformation process will help to ensure that the entire organization stays aligned throughout the process of becoming more Agile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-neglecting-the-process\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Neglecting_the_Process\"><\/span><a><\/a>Neglecting the Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Agile transformation is, at its core, a transformation of culture above anything else. And transforming organizational culture, of course, takes time \u2013 and patience. Embracing Agile requires individuals and teams to unlearn old habits and learn new ways of working and thinking about work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>One of the biggest mistakes organizations make is failing to allow space for the transformation process to take place.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Many organizations, eager to experience the benefits of Agile, try to rush through the critical, formative process of transformation \u2013 and thus stunt their own growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/are-these-agile-transformation-blind-spots-holding-you-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Read Next:<\/a> Are These Agile Transformation Blind Spots Holding You Back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-not-putting-culture-first\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_Putting_Culture_First\"><\/span><a><\/a>Not Putting Culture First<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next two Agile transformation challenges are related to each other \u2013 both speak to the failure to put people and culture at the center of the Agile transformation. This is often referred to as doing \u2018Agile theater\u2019; organizations will claim to \u2018be Agile\u2019 or that they are \u2018going Agile\u2019 but demonstrate a limited understanding of key Agile principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, this is seen in businesses where the push to become more Agile comes from the top: Teams receive the message that they are supposed to \u2018be Agile\u2019 now, without a deep understanding of what this means or should mean for the way they do work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, teams tend to overemphasize certain elements of Agile \u2013 such as increasing efficiency or cutting waste \u2013 without a complete understanding of the <em>why <\/em>behind these concepts, which are essential to making them sustainable (or effective).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/sponsored\/2022\/03\/the-pandemic-created-a-renewed-urgency-for-agile-transformation\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Read Next:<\/a> The Pandemic Created a Renewed Urgency for Agile Transformation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-failing-to-invest-in-people\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Failing_to_Invest_in_People\"><\/span><a><\/a>Failing to Invest in People<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Agile is fundamentally about people: About creating organizations where people (employees) can do their best work and, in turn, create more value for other people (customers). Agile organizations know that their most valuable assets are their people \u2013 and especially during times of turbulence and change, it is the experience and wisdom of people that will carry the organization through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why investing in people is a key component of creating a healthy organizational culture. This means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Promoting from within when possible<\/li><li>Offering ample opportunities for professional development<\/li><li>Encouraging employees (and ideally, paying for employees) to pursue advanced certifications, training, and skills\u2026 even if that means they might require higher pay or leave their current role<\/li><li>Offering competitive salaries and benefits packages<\/li><li>Providing opportunities for advancement<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in people is certainly an investment \u2013 but it\u2019s one that Agile organizations simply cannot afford not to make \u2013 because it pays off: A low employee turnover rate is one of the most rewarding long-term effects of a successful Agile transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/Agile-Managers-Handbook-_ebook_lad_en_reg.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Read Next:<\/a> The Agile Manager\u2019s Handbook<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-failing-to-embrace-failure\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Failing_to_Embrace_Failure\"><\/span><a><\/a>Failing to Embrace Failure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps one of the hardest cultural shifts involved in Agile transformation is learning to embrace failure. Agile culture is rooted in experimentation, iteration, and learning \u2013 because without these, there is no innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If we cannot try and fail, then we will not try \u2013 and once we stop trying, we stop innovating.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We are all desperate to innovate \u2013 but many of us have been raised in the traditional, Western \u201csuccess at all costs\u201d corporate culture that discourages failure. It\u2019s a difficult, but essential, collective cognitive shift that is required for organizations to truly embrace failure as a part of learning. But failure to do so is a failure to innovate \u2013 which is why this Agile transformation challenge is one that simply has to be overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/rs\/456-QCH-520\/images\/NatWest-Case-Study.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Read Next:<\/a> NatWest Finds Their Key to Agile Transformation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><a><\/a>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although no two Agile transformations are the same, examining the missteps of others (and how to overcome them) can help you take a few shortcuts on the road to Agile maturity.
