How are these impacting your customers both internally and internally? How can these pain points be prioritized and transformed into innovation and operational excellence (Opex) opportunities? What does the timeline look like for implementation? For example, are there phases to your transformation? How will your team adapt to if the plan changes? Note: These pain points are your “Action items” that should be appearing on your Trello board. Some of you are already well into this phase of the project. Remember…Before State…Future State etc. Expand upon how an Agile Transformation can improve customer experience and drive innovation regarding your product or service. Note: Think back to what I had you do during week 1. Have your pain points changed? What are some observations and/or insights you’ve gained now that you are better equipped with key concepts from the readings and discussions?
