Agilitybecome

Agilitybecome is a coined term describing the process by which an organization or team becomes more agile. It is not part of a formal framework; rather, it is used to signal a transformation toward adaptive planning, iterative delivery, and greater responsiveness to customer needs across product, technology, and operations.

In practice, agilitybecome emphasizes cross-functional collaboration, empowered teams, lightweight governance, and a culture of experimentation. Common elements include incremental delivery, regular retrospectives, visible workflow management, and, where appropriate, DevOps practices that link development and operations.

Implementation typically involves a change-management approach: assessing the current state, defining a target operating model, training staff, and aligning roles, incentives, and processes with agile ways of working. Measurement focuses on speed, value delivery, and customer outcomes, using metrics such as cycle time, release frequency, and lead time for feedback.

Critics warn that the term can be vague and that real benefits require sustained cultural change, not mere adoption of practices. The exact meaning of agilitybecome can vary between organizations, so clarity of goals and evidence-based improvement are essential.
