Phase 1: Preparation of the Transformation

Thorough preparation is essential for the successful implementation of an agile transformation. By examining the company-specific success factors, challenges, and termination factors, an important basis for further transformation is created. Based on this foundation, required competencies can be derived and covered in the form of a powerful transformation team. This team acts as the central driver of the transformation and is particularly responsible during the preparation phase for creating a common understanding of agility and a clear vision of the transformation within the company. By confirming the mandate of the transformation team, the team gains strength and focuses henceforth on the implementation of the transformation. In this process, the insights gained from the entire preparation phase are used to identify important success factors and blockades and to prioritize these for the implementation phase. This approach lays an important foundation for the successful implementation of the transformation and the achievement of the goals associated with it.
