Abstract

The Sidky agile measurement index (SAMI) is a 5-step value-based roadmap to agility. The SAMI is designed to help guide organizations seeking to become more agile. Each of SAMIpsilas 5 steps (collaborative, evolutionary, integrated, adaptive and encompassing) aims to instill a new value in teams and organizations. This report shows how an organization that is just at Step 2 of the SAMI has realized a number of tangible business benefits. Some of these notable benefits are (a) 25% increase in the speed to market, (b) 45% decrease in the number of bugs reported after delivery of the system, (c) unprecedented customer satisfaction, and (d) 19% decrease in employee turnover because of the substantial increase in the team moral.
