Introduction

As organizations seek to become more adaptive and customer-focused, Agile Transformation remains a critical priority. But change is hard, especially at scale. That’s where Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play a transformative role.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a futuristic concept — it is transforming industries today. From automating routine tasks to driving strategic decision-making, AI is shaping the future of work, customer engagement, and innovation.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping business models, customer experiences, and operational efficiencies at an unprecedented pace. At the same time, Agile transformation remains the gold standard for organizations striving for adaptability, speed, and continuous innovation.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way organizations operate — from automating routine tasks to enabling smarter decision-making. When combined with Agile and modern IT strategies, AI becomes a powerful catalyst for innovation, speed, and resilience.

In today’s digital landscape, true enterprise agility demands end-to-end visibility and collaboration—from strategic planning to delivery pipelines. Many organizations rely on multiple tools to manage work, budget, and code deployment, such as Rally for Agile project management, Clarity for portfolio and financial management, and various DevOps pipelines for continuous integration and delivery.

In today’s high-stakes business environment, agility at scale is no longer optional—it's essential. Yet, for Fortune 500 companies, scaling Agile across hundreds of teams, geographies, and business units can feel overwhelming. Many organizations stall in their transformation efforts due to inconsistent adoption, tool sprawl, or a lack of alignment between business and IT.

Agile adoption in government agencies and regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, and defense is no small task. These environments face unique constraints—compliance requirements, legacy systems, strict audit trails, and long funding cycles—that can make Agile transformation feel risky or even impossible.

Agile transformation at scale requires more than just team-level optimization. To achieve true enterprise agility, organizations must align the flow of work to the flow of value—and ensure that execution stays connected to strategic goals.

Jira is one of the most widely used Agile tools in the world—but out of the box, it’s not designed for enterprise scaling. For organizations adopting the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®), Jira often becomes a barrier instead of a bridge.
