The Challenge
How do you transition smoothly to the Agile way of working?
For several years, leaders from small and large organisations, as well as various fields of activity, have embraced the Agile way of working. As motivating and attractive as the new approach can be, it also creates confusion, resistance, and sometimes the perception that this happens because we are not agile enough on an individual level.
The explanation may seem counterintuitive. While we value individual agility, the new approach extends this to the systems level, emphasizing sustainable work speed, rapid adaptation to change, and value generation for clients. This involves streamlining processes at the team level, across teams of teams, departments, and the entire organization.
It’s not easy, but we can help!

Agile organisations – what’s different?
Agile organisations have evolved differently from traditional ones.
If hierarchy and functions are the keys in the standard organisation, in Agile organisations, those gravitate around self-led teams capable of adapting quickly and producing valuable results for clients and the company.
Some of the signs of a successful Agile transition are:
- The speed of adaptating to change
- Assuming the role of market leader
- Increased speed in innovation, intense collaboration within self-led teams
- Employees involved and motivated by professional and personal growth
What does a Lean-Agile transformation initiative mean?
Agile transformation covers several large areas:
- Mindset/culture, processes
- Ways of making decisions
- Restructuring of departments and teams
- Ways of organizing and financing projects
- Daily activities
- Roles and responsibilities
Transforming through iterations
The activities within such a project involve:
- definition of transformation backlog
- training for embracing Agile/SCRUM work practices, developing new leaders (Product Owner, SCRUM Master, Product Manager, Business Owners, Solution Architects, etc.)
- redesign of teams and responsibilities
- empowerment for teams
- implementing a new way of working based on the use of Agile practices in the company’s activities
- coaching and consulting for leadership and Agile teams

Agile Transformation
What do you need to prepare?
Each organisation has its own way of preparing for change.
Successful transformations are supported by a well-articulated vision, openness to change, patience to obtain the expected results,
and a management team ready to set an example for the entire organization.
As the first step in a unique journey, let’s find out the answer to this question.

In the company of Agile ones
The world is changing, and we are changing with it. The distance from the traditional way of working opens new options for us, and those who started earlier offer us examples to follow, inspiration, and the confidence to step on a new path.
Although we are an IT company, we were interested in the idea and needed help with the reorganisation of the sales and marketing areas based on Agile principles. At Axioma I found the necessary support for a transition that lasted more than a year and which we consider a success.
Managing Director
IT Company
The Agile transformation effort in Romania closely followed the direction of the European group of which we are a part of. We had the opportunity to choose the local partner for implementation. On the Agile side, Axioma is a “boutique company”, but we still received excellent support during the entire transition, from 2018 until now. Beyond the standard services, the coaching offered to the Leadership team made the difference in the success of the implementation.
HR Executive
International pharmaceutical company
We made the decision to reorganize product development by using SAFe as a framework for team organization and product development. We started with trainings for the Leadership and Product Management teams, and with the help of Marian, we successfully launched the first Agile Release Train in the company. We continued with training for SCRUM Masters and Product Owners. We are happy to have the opportunity to receive help from the SAFe side, right here in Romania.
