# A Robust Statistical Methodology for Measuring Enterprise Agility
## 3 Methodology
### Measuring Enterprise Agility  
The measurement of enterprise agility is essential for any company that wants to improve its responsiveness to market changes and customer needs [14]. However, starting an organizational agility measurement system that supports agile governance and helps track progress and evolution towards future state goals can be a challenging task for many companies [16]. * The CMMI for Agile is a framework for assessing and improving the agility of organizations. It is based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), which is a well-established framework for assessing and improving the maturity of organizations. The CMMI for Agile includes a number of practices that can help organizations become more agile, such as iterative and incremental development, continuous improvement, and customer collaboration. * The Agility Quotient is a measure of an organization's ability to adapt to change. It is calculated by measuring the organization's ability to respond to change, its ability to learn from change, and its ability to manage change. The Agility Quotient can be used to track an organization's progress over time and to identify areas where the organization can improve its agility. * The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a framework for scaling agile development. It provides a set of principles and practices for organizing and managing large-scale agile projects. SAFe includes a number of metrics for measuring agility, such as the number of features delivered per sprint and the percentage of features that are delivered on time and within budget. SAFe can be used to help organizations scale agile development without sacrificing agility. * The Agile Adoption Index is a measure of the extent to which an organization has adopted agile practices. It is calculated by measuring the organization's use of agile practices, such as daily standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives. The Agile Adoption Index can be used to track an organization's progress over time and to identify areas where the organization can improve its adoption of agile practices. * The Agility Health Radar is a measurement that provides insight into the agility of an organization, assessing different dimensions. This tool utilizes a combination of assessments, surveys, and data analysis to generate an accurate picture of the level of agility and identify areas for improvement. * The AgilityDebt(tm) index is a proprietary way for TCS to measure the debt that an organization has that restricts its agility. It is calculated by means of a carefully sequenced polynomial, dependent on its factors, which is fed by variables that are continuously monitored thanks to the data recorded in TCS information systems. In the following paragraphs of this section, the concept of a polynomial is explicated, and the specific dimensions applicable to the cases of IT and CBO are discussed. In this study, the AgilityDebt(tm) index was employed among the various indicators previously mentioned. However, it is noteworthy to underline that the proposed statistical methodology is indicator-agnostic. This proprietary index enables TCS to quantify an organization's constraints on agility. The development of AgilityDebt(tm) was made possible by TCS's extensive experience in spearheading over 300 agile transformations worldwide. While this index serves as a tool in the recommended statistical methodology, it should be emphasized that this methodology remains applicable when utilizing alternative indicators. The comprehension of the AgilityDebt(tm) index is straightforward for all members of an organization. It operates within a unique range from 0 to 1, where a lower value is favorable, as it signifies lower debt, thus portraying an elevated level of organizational agility. Within an organization, the AgilityDebt(tm) index has the capacity to scale both horizontally and vertically.
