II. THE AGILE FLUENCY MODEL ®

The Agile Fluency® Model is based on four zones reflecting a team’s progress in becoming agile. Quote:

• Focusing teams produce business value.
• Delivering teams deliver on the market cadence.
• Optimizing teams lead their market.
• Strengthening teams make their organizations stronger.

Each zone depends on a set of agile proficiencies. A proficiency is an observable behavior—such as “The team works with a business representative who provides the team with the business's perspective and expectations”—that leads to the zone’s benefits.

In the Agile Fluency Model, we’re most interested in fluent proficiency: a habit of exhibiting the proficiency at all times, even when under pressure. Anyone can follow a set of techniques when given time to focus in a classroom; true fluency is skillful, routine ease that persists when your mind is distracted with other things.
