Abstract Systems teams, development projects, and organizations, who are involved in product development, are often faced with the question as to whether they should adapt agile systems practices into their programs and processes. In trying to answer this question these groups are almost immediately confronted with the problem of determining what is motivating the decision, where should agile principles be applied, and how much agility is necessary. There are several interrelated systems involved in this inquiry and the development of a proper understanding around these considerations is not a trivial exercise. A method of inquiry and decision making that is in itself agile and that can produce actionable results needs to guide the development of this understanding. The purpose of this paper is to present work accomplished to date on the definition, prototyping, and evaluation of a decision guidance system to help a development team or organization achieve a necessary understanding that can lead to useful actionable decisions regarding agile adoption.
