Introducing Great Big Agile: Your Roadmap to Agile

February 8, 2019 by agileleader

At AgileCxO, we are thrilled to share with you that Chief Evangelist, Jeff Dalton’s latest book, Great Big Agile, is now available. Whether you are a consultant helping organizations become agile, an organization looking to be agile, or already an agile organization, Great Big Agile will teach you to:

  • Model the behaviors of a high-performance agile organization
  • Benefit from lessons learned by other organizations that have succeeded with Big Agile
  • Assess your level of agility with the Agile Performance Holarchy
  • Apply the APH model to your business
  • Understand the APH performance circles, holons, objectives, and actions
  • Obtain certification for your company, organization, or agency

About Great Big Agile

Big Agile leaders need an empirical, “high-trust” model that provides guidance for scaling and sustaining agility and capability throughout a modern technology organization. Great Big Agile presents the Agile Performance Holarchy (APH)―a “how-ability” model that provides agile leaders and teams with an operating system to build, evaluate, and sustain great agile habits and behaviors. The APH is an organizational operating system based on a set of interdependent, self-organizing circles, or holons, that reflect the empirical, object-oriented nature of agility. 

As more companies seek the benefits of Agile within and beyond IT, agile leaders need to build and sustain capability while scaling agility―no easy task―and they need to succeed without introducing unnecessary process and overhead. 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.
