The MAHD Framework is easy to learn and expand as you gain experience. However, effectively putting new methods in practice along side existing processes can take years without a dedicated effort and focused champions.
The MAHD Framework implementation roadmap as shown below can help your organization take a systematic approach to learning and instituting agile practices. Some of the key elements to consider include:
Preparing the Organization – Getting support from key leaders and creating awareness of your plans to go agile can help accelerate your progress.
Learning with Pilot Projects and Teams – Proven success in focused pilot projects builds confidence and provides the learning needed to refine and scale the approach.
Certifying Key Roles – Effective outcomes depend on the capability and leadership of key individuals. The MAHD Framework defines essential roles where certification builds the skills and confidence to succeed.
Developing a Rollout Plan – Once the benefits and tactics of your agile process are clear, a plan can be developed to train more teams, develop unified procedures, communicate expectations and organize support mechanisms.
Executing Your Plan – The plan is put into action through coordinated training, hands-on coaching, active leadership engagement, and continuous reinforcement to ensure consistent adoption and lasting results.

A great first milestone to is to learn and trial the Core MAHD Framework. This provides the foundation of of agile skills and enables one or more teams to quickly learn what works for them and provides a solid basis for expanding.
Once a pilot program is underway with teams trained and beginning to execute, it's good timing to develop a plan to expand. This typically includes:
With certified leaders in place and more teams trained in agile methods your overall new agile-enabled process begins to take shape to become an agile organization. Learning is captured with each project to make improvements to develop a standard way-of-working while having the flexibility to tackle the range of projects your organization is likely to manage.
As the organization matures, it will evolve where agile becomes embedded in the culture. Teams will focus less on the day-t0-day tactics of execution and begin to think innately about learning milestones, gaining rapid customer feedback, empowering teams, making fast decisions and focusing relentless on creating customer value.
