Frontrunners complete extensive upfront planning to scale agile. While a successful pilot implementation may ignite enthusiasm for agile, there are four areas that need to be addressed before agile can reach scale.

• Experiment: Start with customer-focused initiatives; scale gradually
• Orient: Change culture by changing behaviors and develop T-shaped -skills
• Govern: Link Agile portfolio planning and operations with business strategy
• Accelerate: Modernize IT with DevOps and microservices
