In this article, we will guide you through what problems Comparative Agility solves. Comparative Agility helps change agents cut through the noise and focus their energy, time, and investments where it makes the most impact:

• Leaders – Business leaders typically have a great idea of what challenges their organization is faced with – the problem is understanding which challenge is more pressing than the other. Comparative Agility helps amplify the voice of the teams – at all relevant levels of the organization, regardless of size. This helps leaders quickly know where to focus and make investments where it matters the most.
• Coaches and Organizational change agents – Comparative Agility gives you visibility at the team, program, and organizational levels – it shines a light – but it is up to you to dig further and then understand the “why” behind the results. In other words, Comparative Agility does not give you answers by itself – it provides insight so you can ask better questions. As coaches and organizational change agents, that is core to our job and critical for continuous improvement efforts overall.
• Team members – The Retrospective is perhaps the most important ceremony in Scrum and critical to continuous improvement efforts. Yet, Retrospectives can often get stale and unproductive. Comparative Agility provides actionable data that the team can use to help spruce up their continuous improvement efforts and challenge themselves beyond traditional “Start-Stop-Continue” activities.
