Agile Transformation means commitment of an Agile Coach during agreed period of time who is leading the transformation process in the company.

Agile Transformation needs to be top-down and bottom-up, iterative and incremental. Constantly experimenting, trying different things and possibilities is crucial, as well as reflection on successes and failures. There is no ideal template to follow in terms of a process. However, there are different practices which can be adopted within the transformation faze.
In general, Agile Transformation includes several steps:
- Assessment of the company’s readiness for agility in terms of existing software/product development life cycle, procedures, practices, responsibilities, resources/competencies;
- In-house formal education of relevant stakeholders and teams;
- Establishing the ways for tracking and overcoming impediments;
