X = Agile
• Being agile is about delivering greater business value and not just the process
• Your context matters, there is no one “right” approach to agile adoption
• The organization needs to own and define what agile means to them
In your agile transformation you will spend much more effort addressing
people-oriented (being agile) issues than you will either of process (doing agile)
or tooling (supporting agile) issues.
Think of it like this: these three factors are effectively the legs of a stool, if you
don’t address all three then your agile transformation will fall over.
