Facilitating Agile Transformation Through Business Process Standardisation – A Case Study

Abstract

International audienceEnterprises across various sectors are adopting agile transformation as a strategic response to an increasingly dynamic business environment. However, this shift is often hindered by misconceptions, a lack of guidance, and growing process complexity. This paper aims to provide practical guidance for managing agile transformation projects by examining a scale-up initiative within a vocational training programme involving multiple teams. Drawing on Business Process Standardisation (BPS) and the Iterative Agility Improvement Framework (IAIF), the study demonstrates how structured approaches can streamline processes and support programme expansion. Specifically, the case study illustrates how IAIF can guide agile transformation efforts, highlights the role of process standardisation in aligning team perspectives and fostering collaboration, and underscores the importance of process modularisation in enhancing agility and performance. The findings offer valuable insights for practitioners seeking to operationalise agile transformation, particularly in contexts where collaboration is critical
