“…Without some commitment from the whole organisation, without understanding what business value means at all levels and without developing people, culture and mind-sets the benefits of agile cannot be continuously sustained and improved. Sustaining agile has started to gather interest within the research community [8], [16]. The views from practitioners suggest that the context where agile is supported and sustained and the overall culture are crucial.…”

Agile approaches are adopted in industry to improve outcomes from software development, and are increasingly the subject of research studies. However, adoption is not the end of the story. Agile requires on-going change and commitment in order to become sustainable and embedded within teams and organisations. This study explores current perceptions of post-adoptive agility. We asked 50 practitioners 'what does agile sustainability mean to you?'. Analysis of practitioner comments identified four themes: being completely agile, independent, focused on business value and need, and consistent across time. Post-adoptive agile is an under-researched area, there is inconsistent use of terminology, and there is a gap between practitioners' and researchers' perceptions about what is important for sustaining agile.

Prevalence of Agile methods in software companies is increasing. Software companies need to employ these methods to overcome the inherent challenges of traditional methods. However, transitioning to Agile approach is a topic of debate and needs to be supported by appropriate facilitators. Conducting a large-scale research study, revealed the most important Agile transition facilitators. This paper solely presents two hidden facilitators of Agile transition, Agile coaches and Agile champions, which rarely have been taken into consideration. Both of these facilitators directly impress the people involved in the transition. People-intensive nature of Agile methods and critical role of the people in the transition process reflect the importance of these facilitators when a software company is in the transition process. This study showed that considering these facilitators when can highly impress the success of the transition and revealed the real responsibilities of Agile coaches and Agile champions when transitioning to Agile.

Agile software development by offering new values motivates software companies to use Agile methods instead of traditional methods. However, reviewing the literature shows that leaving traditional methods and moving to Agile methods is subjected to many serious challenges. We have conducted a large-scale research study to empirically discover various aspects of Agile transformation. Our Grounded Theory study showed the general outline of Agile transformation. The main aim of this paper is to figure out the most important concepts that need to be considered when moving to Agile. This study showed that Agile transformation comprises many concepts, activities, and steps including transformation prerequisites, facilitators, framework, assessment, coaching, and so on. Companies need to be familiar with these concepts before starting transitioning to Agile.
