CANBERRA, Australia - October 8, 2020 - (Newswire.com)
Zen Ex Machina, a leader in agile consulting and coaching, today announced the public beta launch of a new Agile IQ® program designed to give organisations the smartest path to enterprise agility. This first-of-its-kind program creates outcomes by creating consistency of practice across your agile teams. It provides curated coaching recommendations based on an assessment of their level of maturity and comparison to other teams of similar age. Within 12 months, programs who have used Agile IQ®’s frameworks have seen a reduction in costs of over $1.1M USD per year, and a speed to market improve from 3-months to as little as 2-weeks.
Agile IQ® is supported by Innovation Connect. The Canberra Innovation Network (CBRIN) is a not-for-profit launched as a collaboration between the local government and Canberra’s world-class education and research institutions. Zen Ex Machina will be among many other talented entrepreneurs receiving support from the Canberra Innovation Network.
“We’re really proud to bring Agile IQ® to the international market.” Matthew Hodgson, CEO of Zen Ex Machina and creator of Agile IQ®, explains.
“Surveys just don’t give leaders enough knowledge to get their organisations to the next level of productivity. Agile IQ® brings our 15 years of experience with agile transformation into one simple application. It gives leaders reports and advice to improve time to market, reduce costs, and improve their ability to pivot rapidly to change, whether you have one team or a whole scaled agile program.”
“It’s an important part of our vision - to improve the work lives of 1M people by 2025 - designed to take the guesswork out of agile coaching and with strong empirical data create consistent, faster, more cost-effective enterprise outcomes,” Hodgson explains.
Agile IQ® is designed for the enterprise. It’s the only metrics-driven coaching and assessment tool that provides insights into your teams agile mindset and provides recommendations to improve based on their current level of agile maturity by analysing:
Agile Mindset: Measures the strength of behaviours associated with the Agile Manifesto and it's 12 Principles.
Agile Culture: Visible actions and behaviours create culture. Agile IQ assesses how strong your agile culture really is
Agile Behaviours: Assesses and compares the demonstrable, collaborative behaviours in teams and leadership that create agility.
Agile Practices: Measures strength of agile practices, including Scrum, Kanban, and Lean, and links them to outcomes.
Additional Benefits of Agile IQ®
With Agile IQ®, you’ll get early warnings when delivery is at risk leveraging Google’s Project Aristotle research on team effectiveness and reduce the costs of agile coaching with easy and inexpensive access to industry experts. The benefits don’t stop here - additionally, you’ll reduce the risks of failure associated with lack of consistency of practice across your organisation using proprietary AI learning paths and coaching recommendations sourced from industry-accepted principles such as the Agile Manifesto, the Official Scrum Guide, and more. Agile IQ® gives you the clear path to truly monitoring your investment in business agility.
