Choosing the Right Change Model for Agile Transformation

Change is inevitable, but how we manage it makes all the difference—especially in Agile transformations. THIS ARTICLE outlines four common change models: Kotter’s 8-Step Process, Bridges, Kübler-Ross, and Lewin’s Change Model. Each has its strengths, but in SAFe environments, Kotter’s structured, step-by-step approach often provides the most alignment with Agile principles.

My take? Successful Agile transformation isn’t just about process—it’s about people. While frameworks provide structure, true change happens when leaders empower teams, foster a culture of continuous learning, and align change efforts with business agility.
