THE ABSOLUTE AGILE
SM APPROACHAbsolute Agile is
not another agile methodology. It is our approach for building agile software development
capabilities using principles and practices from a broad range of lean and agile disciplines.
Our Absolute Agile approach does not mandate proprietary methods or tools. Instead, we select
the best lean and agile techniques for your specific situation.SM With more than six years of assisting our clients through successful agile transitions, the
Absolute Agile toolkit draws from our extensive experience with a wide variety of processes, including
Lean Software Development, Scrum, Extreme Programming, Design for Six Sigma, the Agile Unified Process
and others.
Knowing the interrelationships of all these practices, and with our first-hand knowledge of the common risks and
potential pitfalls, we work with you to design a tailored approach that selects, tunes and scales agile methods
to meet the distinct challenges of your unique environment.
Your plan is promptly set into action with our
Organizational Scrum seminars, innovative leadership workshops and our highly regarded team training and coaching.
All of these services are carefully targeted to quickly gain momentum, measure progress and ensure a solid footing
for your ongoing success. |

ENTERPRISE SCALABILITY
Enterprise-class software development can be very challenging.
Outsourcing, distributed teams, multiple product portfolios,
complex architectures and large project communities all demand
unique adaptations to standard lean and agile practices.
 The effectiveness of our Absolute Agile approach is rooted in extensive real world,
hands-on experience that spans the full range of enterprise development, from single
team adoption of Extreme Programming practices to the coordination of multiple,
interdependent Scrum teams across time zones and geographic locations. |

identifies and targets the benefits that are most important to your organization:

ORGANIZATIONAL SCRUM
As a process improvement strategy, Absolute Agile embraces
assessment, planning, skill-building and measurement of results.
To effectively promote and govern these critical disciplines, Agile
Logic created a framework to help you steer your agile transition.
We call this framework
Organizational Scrum .Organizational Scrum is a higher-level activity that implements
tracking and steering for your agile transition and process
improvement initiative. Running separately from the development
team Scrums, your Organizational Scrum is a proven, effective
mechanism for ensuring that you maximize the ongoing benefits
from your transition to lean and agile methods.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Agile Logic primes your organization for sustaining a culture of
continuous improvement. The Absolute Agile approach
reduces risk, maximizes your benefits and generates immediate
results. Each step of the way, your incremental investment
produces measurable improvement in your agile capabilities,
and tangible progress towards your successful agile transition.
Periodic reassessment of your lean and agile capabilities
provides the standardized feedback needed for your
Organizational Scrum and to steer your transition through
continuous improvement. Agile Logic will help you build your
assessment practices, or you can rely on our comprehensive
services for independent third-party assessment. Either way, you
increase your ability to avoid risk and to target new opportunities
for ongoing innovation and improvement. |

THE ABSOLUTE AGILE CYCLE
Assess
The key to successfully adopting an agile process starts with a
thorough understanding of the unique needs and circumstance
within your organization. Agile Logic
assessment and planning
services ensure that your organization has sufficiently identified
and considered crucial issues prior to initiating the adoption
effort. Our organizational-readiness assessment measures your
existing capabilities and profiles potential challenges. Plan
Just like your organization is unique, with its own combination of
challenges and circumstances, the most effective plan for your
transition to agile processes will also be unique. Our
planning
services develop a customized implementation approach based on
the lean and agile methods most appropriate for your specific situation.Prepare
To effectively initiate an agile transition effort, a solid foundation
of knowledge and skills is essential for your entire team.
Successful agile transitions require careful preparation through
a combination of training in a variety of agile principles and
practices, targeted for each aspect of your team—software
engineering, quality assurance, project and product management and organizational leadership. |

teams to leverage their training and deliver results. Using your
