RESOURCE: WHITE PAPER

The Agile Boundary

The Agile boundary demarcates the parts of an organization that are using Agile practices from the parts that are not.

The boundary is dynamic, and the percentage of the organization inside the Agile boundary typically expands over time as more people and groups adapt to working in Agile ways. However, this expansion is often haphazard and relatively unplanned, which can lead to uneven progress, frustration, lack of perceived benefits, and efforts that die on the vine.

To help organizations avoid such problems, this white paper addresses the following topics:

• Defining the Agile boundary
• Creating a strategy for Agile boundary expansion
• Working across the Agile boundary
