Abstract
We apply a framework because the complexity and sensitivity of agile evolution necessitates consulting discipline. Enterprise clients must know that we can engage strategically as well as tactically. They want to see an approach that indicates that the consultant has pondered their unique qualities, and thought through a tailored roadmap to their agility. Even if the move to agility is vigorously encouraged by senior management, sponsors of agile evolution projects want to know they’re partnering with a consulting professional who can negotiate, plan, and carry out a successful engagement.
