The State of Agile Today

Why Great Big Agile Is a Necessity

of corporate leaders have philosophy that conflict with core agile values.

of IT Organizations have less than half of their teams actually practicing agile.

Agile Performance Holarchy

The Agile Performance Holarchy (APH)― is a “how-ability” model that provides agile leaders and teams with an operating system to build, evaluate, and sustain great agile habits and behaviors. It is not a process or a hierarchy, but a holarchy, a series of performance circles with embedded and interdependent holons that reflect the behaviors of high-performing agile organizations.
