Agile Assessments & Agile Health Checks
Have you recently undergone, or are currently navigating, an agile transformation within your organisation? Perhaps your team has been practicing agile methodologies for some time, and you want to ensure that you continue to maximise the benefits of agile work. Maybe you’re looking for a health check to identify and address potential challenges before they escalate into significant issues. If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then an agile assessment could be the valuable solution you need.
An agile assessment is a comprehensive evaluation and structured approach to evaluating agile maturity and organisational readiness for adopting agile. Our team of expert agile consultants at McKenna Agile Consultants specialises in conducting these assessments for companies of all sizes, leveraging industry-standard agile assessment tools to deliver efficient, insightful, and actionable results. By using these tools, we can benchmark your organisation’s performance against industry standards and offer a clear view of your agile journey. The assessment measures various aspects of agility, maturity, and progress within teams and organisations, helping to track improvements and guide continuous development.
An Agile Assessment Will
- Help you to understand the current knowledge of Agile, Lean and Scrum across your people, teams, and organisation

- Give you a set of evidence-based recommendations to improve agility – not just the standard playbook
- Identify opportunities for further growth within your organisation
