Agile transformation

Accelerate delivery with scalable, agile solutions

The demand for agility and speed in delivering value is more critical than ever as enterprises continue to advance in their digital transformation journeys. The business landscape today demands faster product delivery, greater adaptability to change, and a relentless focus on customer-centric innovation. However, organizations often struggle with transforming at scale, aligning teams with business objectives, and managing the complexity of distributed teams and toolsets. 

Organizations struggle with implementing consistent, agile practices across distributed teams, navigating the complexities of scaled frameworks like SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), and optimizing their delivery pipelines to ensure faster time to market and improved quality. As per the 17th State of Agile report, the top challenges in embracing agile include resistance at all levels, organizational culture, lack of clear understanding of agile practices, and more. This results in a struggle to achieve the expected benefits due to fragmented adoption and failure to align agile with strategic business outcomes.

Leveraging deep industry knowledge and a proven track record, Virtusa offers end to end agile solutions that ensure faster, scalable, and sustainable transformation.

We provide a detailed roadmap for improving performance, from refining processes to aligning teams and tools with agile best practices. This solution ensures that your agile practices are optimized for efficiency, scalability, and continuous improvement.

Scaling agile across large, complex organizations can be challenging, but Virtusa simplifies this process through our expertise in SAFe. We provide end to end consulting and implementation services to ensure organizations can scale agile practices effectively while maintaining alignment, quality, and velocity. Our SAFe consulting services include training, certification, and hands-on implementation support, ensuring that teams can adopt and scale agile successfully.

Virtusa helps organizations design, build, and implement an agile operating model tailored to their specific needs. Our OPERA transformation framework provides a structured approach to building an agile blueprint and roadmap, ensuring that your agile transformation is aligned with strategic business objectives. Additionally, our expertise in distributed agile enables teams across different geographies to work seamlessly, with the right processes, tools, and communication structures in place to drive consistent delivery at scale.

A key component of any successful agile transformation is the development of internal agile competency. Virtusa provides comprehensive agile training, certification programs (SAFe, Scrum, Kanban), and coaching to build expertise across all levels of the organization with our proprietary 3C competency development framework (certification, coaching, and community circle). We also establish community circles that foster knowledge sharing, continuous learning, and peer coaching, ensuring that agile competency is embedded deeply into an organization’s culture.

Building high-performing agile teams requires more than just adopting agile methodologies; it requires the right tools, processes, and culture. Virtusa helps clients build agile teams optimized for productivity and collaboration, equipped with the right tools for managing backlogs, sprints, and delivery pipelines. Our solutions include team structure design, tool selection and implementation (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, DevOps tools), and agile process optimization, ensuring that teams can deliver with speed and quality. Additionally, we leverage our 3C competency development framework to ensure that team members continue to grow in their agile proficiency through certifications, coaching, and knowledge sharing via community circles, embedding agile competency throughout the organization and supporting sustained transformation.
