Agility Opportunity Sprint
In my work with dozens of enterprises I've learned that diving into training or restructuring only makes sense after you align on intent and approach and tackle some of the tough questions.
The Agility Opportunity Sprint is the result of years of evolving and fine tuning my approach, and is how I start engagements. It's a simple to budget, quick turnaround engagement that results in both a blueprint for what agility means in your context, and a concrete set of next steps for your first improvement increment.
Is This For You?
When does exploring your agility opportunities make sense?
Starting fresh or recovering from what wasn't working? This sprint creates clarity.
Define what agility means in your specific context: your portfolio, teams, and governance constraints.
Identify what went wrong and design a reset that delivers real outcomes instead of process compliance.
Move from team-level agility to program, portfolio, or enterprise-wide improvement.
Bring agility upstream into product discovery, downstream to operations, or into marketing and finance.
Deliverables
What You Leave With
Real alignment, not just a report
The bulk of the thinking happens together in real-time: not in a slide deck delivered after the fact. Empathy interviews before the sprint ensure we hit the ground running.Clarity on why agility matters here
Grounded in your actual pains, opportunities, and organizational context: not generic agile theory.
A high-level agility trail map
A concrete, prioritized improvement plan tailored to your starting point and constraints.
An outcome-oriented implementation roadmap
An agile approach to pursuing agility: iterative, evidence-based, and adjustable as you learn.
Engagement Options
Choose Your Starting Point
Three tiers that build on each other: start where it makes sense for you
Agility Improvement Opportunities
A focused set of sessions to explore opportunities and co-create a skeleton improvement plan. Covers: Why agility, what it means in your context, key improvement opportunities, and an initial roadmap.
Agility Improvement Roadmap
Everything in Tier 1, plus a personalized agility blueprint and a concrete implementation approach/roadmap with alignment across your leadership team.
Agility Improvement Increment
Everything in Tiers 1 & 2, plus 3 months of advisory availability to change leaders: for ongoing guidance as you work through implementation.
Format
How It Works
1–2 days of focused empathy interviews to understand your context, goals, and constraints before the sprint begins.
2–3 days of hands-on working sessions, preferably offsite. Sized for your organization's complexity.
Senior leaders in Technology, Product, Transformation, Operations, or Program Management: the people who shape and own the change.
How is this different from generic Agile training?
Training courses, by their nature, focus on learning outcomes. The outcome we focus on here is context-specific clarity. The sprint does include primers on relevant frameworks and concepts, but emphasizes application rather than theory. Formal training of course has its role, and there are multiple ways to approach it. Sometimes we establish a solid foundation before the sprint (for example, two days of training followed by a two day sprint). Sometimes formal training follows as a next step. We can discuss what makes sense in your context.
