There is a wide array of qualitative and quantitative research demonstrating the benefits of Agile. Unfortunately, this research does not disambiguate between the results from Agile Adoption of practices versus Agile Transformation to a new mindset and organizational culture. In this workshop, participants will learn the key differences between Adoption and Transformation as well as characterize the key benefits of each approach. Finally, participants will relate learnings to their current organizations.
