Although agile project methods are now increasingly spreading out of software development into a wide range of business areas, compliance departments and compliance projects are usually neglected in the agile transformation. With that in mind, I would like to use my blog post to explore the question of whether compliance departments and projects can benefit from agile methods and approaches that involve an iterative and transparent approach.

No Scrum values, no successful application. The Scrum Guide leaves us with many uncertainties. We have to find a solution ourselves using the values and framework. However, applying Scrum successfully depends on whether people are able to live out the five Scrum values. In my blog post, I will show you why this is important.

We have learned from a wide range of projects that in agile transformations the question always arises as to the state of an organisation’s agile efforts. In order to be able to answer this and many other questions concerning the topic of agility in a company together with our customers, a working group from adesso’s ‘Agile’ Community of Practice has developed an interactive format for tracking agile teams and organisations – adesso’s Agile Assessment. In my blog post, I will highlight this format’s added value and the approach it takes as well as provide an outlook on how the agile transformation can be supported in organised way.

As soon as ‘agility’ becomes a topic within companies, the Scrum framework also enters the conversation. This framework is easy to understand and quick to implement, but difficult to put into practice. For success, we need a specific inner attitude. Behaving in a way that adds value and exemplifies the Scrum values builds trust. Our attitude of trust in the cause and people gives us the ability to shape our success.

In previous blog posts (see below), we provided the essential facts about agile software development. Agility can help us solve complex problems, especially when operationalisation is not done in a dogmatic way. Today, we will be looking at the interplay between agility and ambidexterity.

In previous blog posts in this series, we found out about agility in software development. Empirical knowledge also plays a key role here, too. I will explain why in my blog post.

In my last blog post, I introduced you to six of the twelve agile principles. These should help us not only to implement agility, but to live it, too. In this blog post, I’ll introduce you to the remaining six principles in more detail.

It’s important to live the Agile Manifesto. Twelve principles, which can be understood as codes of behaviour or rules of the game, were established for this very purpose. In this blog post, I’ll introduce you to the first six principles in more detail.

In my first blog post, I primarily focused on the historical background of agility in software development and explained what the term means in basic terms.
