A Quick Guide to Comparative Agility
Continue to Improve with Data
Collecting and analyzing data helps you understand where change agents can make the most impact. Follow these simple steps to translate analytics to action.
1. Collect Data
Use Comparative Agility to collect data at the team, program, and organizational level.
2. Find The Narrative
Analyze the data to understand strengths and weaknesses. Who’s struggling? Who’s succeeding? How can those who are struggling benefit from those showing strength?
3. Understand Context
Conduct modified Open Space sessions with target groups to consider the data context:
- What: What impediments do we observe?
- So What?: What is the impact of the impediments?
- Now What?: What actions are we taking to address the impediments?
4. Go One-On-One
Gain insight via one-on-one interviews with a few group members – in a safe and confidential environment. Focus on listening, asking open-ended questions to better appreciate some of the unspoken issues.
5. Gather Objective Metrics
Complement your analysis with objective, context-specific metrics, focusing on trends over time, i.e. average lead time, mean time to recovery, defects in production, etc.
6. Take Action!
Based on your analysis, identify the top couple of items you can address, and communicate broadly what you’re doing. Plan to demonstrate results and repeat every 3-6 months to gain credibility and continual improvement.
