A review of different agile methods and frameworks provides the context to evaluate scaled agile transformations. The financial sector in Canada is highly regulated, protected and considered to be among the most highly developed in the world for regulatory frameworks and oversight. (Engert, Fung, Nott, & Selody) The decision to adopt agile ways of working and transform into a responsive innovative organization focused on business agility is underway in the Canadian banking sector. The question is “to what extent does the organizational culture impact the successful implementation of agile practices in large-scale enterprises”. The research focuses on a literary review of agile frameworks, scaled agile use cases in financial services and the relationship between organizational culture and the effectiveness of agile transformations.
The findings point out opportunities for future research to expand understanding of scaled agile standard blueprints for implementation and clear measurements for success.
