Agile DNA (ATGC) is not just a framework, but a self-replicating system: it grows, mutates (adapts), and strengthens with each iteration.

Road to Agile Genome - Agile ATGC Steps in Transformation

​

1. Discover the DNA (Assessment & Awareness)

​

• Adaptability (A): Assess how flexible teams and leadership are when responding to change.

• Transparency (T): Map current flows of information and visibility. Identify bottlenecks or silos.

• Growth (G): Evaluate learning culture, feedback loops, and skill development practices.

• Customer (C): Understand current customer involvement and measure actual value delivery.

Output: Baseline Genome — a clear picture of where the organization stands.

​

2. Define Core Base Pairs (Vision & Principles)

​

• Co-create a shared vision of transformation using ATGC as the guiding compass.

• Translate ATGC into a practical model in your context

• Align leadership commitment around these principles and model buy-in.

Output: Transformation model.

​

3. Prototype the Helix (Pilot & Experiments)

​

• Select a few pilot teams to live the ATGC principles.

• Run short cycles with safe-to-fail experiments.

• Measure results through both outcomes (customer value) and behaviors (principle adoption).

Output: Early learnings that shape the practices + culture

​

4. Replicate & Scale (Learning Loops)

​

• Spread proven practices from pilots across other teams.

• Create internal champions (Agile DNA carriers).

• Establish feedback cadences (retrospectives, communities of practice, customer reviews).

Output: The ATGC model replicated like DNA, building organizational muscle.

​

5. Sustain Evolution (Continuous Adaptation)

​

• Regularly re-assess ATGC maturity levels

• Strengthen adaptability by embedding inspect & adapt into governance.

• Keep customer-centricity alive with ongoing discovery and co-creation

Output: Living DNA of agility — not a one-off transformation but a continuously evolving organism.
