Agile Transformation

ACCELERATE BUSINESS AGILITY

The business world is in the midst of dramatic change. It is now projected that 50-percent of the companies on the S&P 500 will be replaced in the next 10 years. Survival in today’s marketplace means companies must adapt to disruption faster than their competitors. Market leaders must continuously innovate to stay ahead.

All of this change leads to unprecedented opportunities for companies willing to transform. From Fortune 100 companies to small startups, Scrum Inc. has a proven track record of helping organizations get ahead and stay ahead.

Our founder, Jeff Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum, inventor of Scrum@Scale, and signatory of the Agile Manifesto, has been performing successful data-driven Agile transformations longer than anyone else in the industry. Each of our consultants, coaches, and trainers work alongside Jeff as thought leaders for establishing true business agility.

Scrum Inc.’s adaptive, repeatable process teaches organizations how to thrive in a world where change is the only constant. And the flexibility of Scrum@Scale allows for customized transformations which are rolled out at a sustainable pace.

Our transformation clients become agile powerhouses that deeply understand their customers, pivot rapidly to changing market demands, and inspire their teams to improve the world of work.
