Agile adoption on organizations is frequently failing all over the world. We want to help companies on this process by looking at companies that have been through this transition - their characteristics, they steps they took and other perspectives. By a systematic review on published studies, we intend to answer the question: is it possible to find guidelines that can be reusable by other organizations on their Agile adoption process?

7. Research Question
Is it possible to relate characteristics of
organizations to the steps they take to
adopt agile methods?
(size, year of adoption, software as an
end or non-end activity, country)
9. Secondary Research
Questions
What are the main steps taken by
organizations that adopted agile methods
empirically?
What are the existing generic ways to guide
an organizational agile adoption?
Is it possible to relate steps from empiric agile
adoptions in organizations to any of the existing
generic ways?

17. Empirical/Generic Relation
AAF and AAMF consider organizational factors
as a restriction to Agile adoption at the
team/project level
AAF proposes an organizational go/no-go
phase when are evaluated:
the real need of the Agile transition
available budget
executive support
18. Primary Conclusions and
Next Steps
There is a solid contribution to the secondary
research questions (with less than 10%)
Theres great potential to answer the main
research question positively
Next planned steps are: studies full assessment,
data extraction and qualitative/quantitative analysis
