IT Best Practices: Large-scale, Agile transformations are extremely challenging for digital enterprises. Every organization’s path is unique and more often than not, failure is part of the process. Intel IT’s Agile journey is no different-attimes oscillating between challenging to downright discouraging over the course of a decade-before finally turning the corner and delivering sustained improvements in capacity, predictability and positive team engagement over two years.


Today, Intel IT is on course to double the value delivery capacity of all IT teams by 2023. This paper focuses on how we traversed the chasm between discouragement and sustained improvement. We credit our success to a rededication to good scrum and a leadership-first approach to practical, large-scale Agile transformation.


More specifically, this paper will discuss:


How Intel IT leveraged the role of leadership to accelerate and support our Agile transformation.
Why “good scrum” practices are essential for scale.
What novel approaches we took to accelerate our progress.
Lessons learned throughout our Agile journey.
