AgileSHIFT^® FAQ

AgileSHIFT ™ is a new product - guidance and a set of agile knowledge for the implementation of transformational change in those organisations that want to be better prepared for ever-changing conditions.

AgileSHIFT methodology of agile transformation brings a comprehensive approach that helps managers and organisations take a structured approach to agile changes not only on projects, but throughout the organizational environment, culture and procedures.

It is a simple and adaptable framework that helps overcome the typical obstacles that accompany change in societies.

AgileSHIFT ™ is intended for organisations that need to make a transformational change (approach, internal culture, behaviour) and are interested in "rebuilding" the traditional approach to a dynamic agile approach.

It is not possible to approach a change in isolation and for example, implement agile project management frameworks (e.g. SCRUM). One well-functioning but isolated team is no guarantee of a successful transformation.

The transformation needs to be approached comprehensively and it is necessary to involve the entire organisation. It is not enough to transform IT, business, marketing, HR, etc. separately. An effective "agile shift" (AgileSHIFT) requires will and mutual cooperation within the entire organisation.

SCRUM is one of the methods for agile management of an organisational change (e.g. redesigning of websites, new information system, etc.). SCRUM can be used alone or as part of an agile project, e.g. in combination with PRINCE2 Agile.

AgileSHIFT ™ is not about one specific change, but about a comprehensive change of the whole organization - its culture and approach in order to succeed in a dynamically changing environment. In addition, AgileSHIFT ™ does not see this change as a time-limited project but rather as a continuous process.

The main mission of PRINCE2 Agile is to help professionals manage individual projects and successfully combine best practices in project management with agile approaches such as SCRUM or Kanban. Thus, PRINCE2 Agile is directly intended for project managers and members of project teams.

AgileSHIFT is about a comprehensive change of approach and culture across the organization. And this change is not just about the initial set of steps. It is a long-term process motivated by continuous improvement.

Yes, there is a "Guide to AgileSHIFT" book for those who are interested. This guide helps individuals and organisations with transformational change. Printed and electronic versions are available.

Yes. The AgileSHIFT framework also includes practical "cards" that help to understand what the key documents accompanying the transformation change might look like (e.g. what the so-called "roadmap" of transformation should look like). Similarly, "cards" are available with content, goal, and tips for key events (such as what a retrospective should look like).

AgileSHIFT is not a new Agile SCRUM, Kanban, or PRINCE2. It is not a new method for agile project management. It is a framework that provides guidance on how to agilely transform an entire organisation. The goal is to shift, transform the culture and approach of the entire organisation so that it is better prepared for a dynamic environment full of new technologies, innovations and also changes in customer requirements.

AgileSHIFT helps the organisation work more efficiently and focuses on the fastest possible positive results, thanks to which the organisation can better face the competitive environment. Transformational change is not just about technology.

AgileSHIFT is about changing the environment, culture and approach within an organisation. Change is possible only thanks to the involvement and approach of most of the workers who are its bearers. The change cannot be invoked by order. For organisations AgileSHIFT is not just a temporary guide. Instead, it should be the engine for sustainable growth and development in a volatile environment.
