Abstract

The new way of running the organizations require shifting from traditional way to the Agile management paradigm. In a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world, organizations face challenges to be able to compete in a marketplace with rapidly changing technology and customer needs. Many organizations face the difficulties when adopting Agile where the outcomes are limited to the adoption of few practices and methodologies with less value to the products being produced and to the people. Organizations face confusion on why they should adopt Agile and how do they proceed with the adoption? This study uses single exploratory embedded case study research design to observe and explore the adoption of Agile management paradigm in software development at PT. Asuransi Allianz Life Indonesia. The research is intended to answer the research questions of why organizations should adopt Agile practices and how do they proceed with the adoption of the Agile practices. This study uses six semi-structured interview questions which focuses on the motivation, benefits, challenges, and guidelines, how to scale up and organizational cultural impact of the Agile adoption. This study uses direct interviews with 5 senior managers at PT. Asuransi Allianz Life Indonesia and it is compared with external literatures search. This study found similarities between the interview results and external literatures regarding the motivation, benefits, challenge and organizational cultural impact of the Agile adoption. The study discovered significant findings on the guidelines and scaling up of the Agile adoption. We found out that there is no exact guidelines in the Agile adoption because what works in one organization may not work in other organization. Adopting Agile in the organization have to be started by creating right and flexible processes according to what works in each individual team with the foundation of Agile values and principles. The adoption have to start small and not scaling up too fast to see what works and does not work. The Agile adoption is scaled up by creating balance between team empowerment and organization command and control. Finding commonalities that can be shared and creating working environment that enables collaboration and coordination make the Agile adoption scalable within the organization. Key words: Agile adoption, software development, Agile management
