The benefits of an Agile transformation
Agile transformations involve shifting your business to Agile ways of working by applying Agile principles. This can bring several key benefits to your organisation, including:
Faster time to market
High performing teams
More satisfied customers
Engaged employees
Better return on investment
Complete transparency
Bringing these Agile benefits … but at scale!
Many organisations have adopted an Agile way of working to some extent. It makes software development more streamlined and efficient. But, it can be challenging to implement this at scale across the whole organisation without proper Agile training and strategy. You have to consider multiple teams, dependencies between them, different ways of working, and various software tools.
However – if implemented successfully – the benefits of Agile can spread beyond software and IT teams into the wider business.
How our Scaled Agile consulting service can help on your journey to enterprise Agility
The transition to a new way of working doesn’t happen overnight, and large-scale transformations often have roadblocks, such as resistance to change or adopting new practices.
The good news is that Automation Consultants has considerable experience in implementing Agile transformations of various scales, and our team of Agile specialists are here to help.
Whether you’re looking to adopt this methodology across one team, many teams, or through your whole organisation, our Agile consultants can help facilitate this change as smoothly as possible.

Choosing the right process methodology
Large Scale Scrum(LeSS), Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), Nexus and the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
are just a few of the most common Agile scaling frameworks.
Each of these sets out its prerequisites, processes, tactics, implications, and more. As such, each has its own advantages and limitations, and some will address your business’s challenges better than others.
As Agile experts, we can provide a solution that will best meet the requirements of your organisation and provide the most value for your teams and end users.
Is SAFe right for your organisation?
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is probably the most popular Agile scaling method to help large organisations apply Agile practices.
As businesses grow, SAFe provides a structured approach for scaling Agile. In other words, SAFe can help promote alignment, collaboration, and delivery across large numbers of Agile teams. SAFe practices are applied across the whole organisation – from leadership to management and delivery teams.
Difference between Agile and Scrum
The Agile Manifesto builds on the philosophy of breaking down complex work into small, achievable tasks that can be delivered iteratively. This approach encourages feedback, inspection and adaptation, ultimately driving maximised value and output.
Scrum, on the other hand, is one of the most widely adopted Agile frameworks.
The difference between Agile and Scrum is that the former is the mindset, whilst the latter is one of its frameworks, providing a structure and guidance that embeds Agile ways of working.
Scrum is notable for its sprint-based cadence, roles, and ceremonies. There are three specific roles core to Scrum: Product Owner, Development/Delivery Team and Scrum Master. Some Agile project teams assign a Project Manager who fills the ‘servant leader’ role of a Scrum Master
At the end of each sprint, the team delivers an iteration of the product. They then hold a retrospective to see how processes could be optimised.
Agile coach vs consultant
Coaching and consulting are two different Agile services. Agile consultants offer solutions and strategies to give you a competitive advantage. They look at the big picture and advise accordingly.
Agile coaches, on the other hand, help the team achieve their goals in an Agile organisation. Both help your business embrace Agile but their approaches and goals are different.
