There is no one right way to choose which practices and processes are right for you, nor is there one right way to get to the point where you are successfully practicing Agile.  Here are several different strategies that teams have found effective:

• Readiness assessments:  These are ways to help you determine where you and your team are today.  Readiness assessments are excellent starting points.
• Maturity models:  These are defined stages for moving you, your team, and your organization along a defined route and successive expertise in practicing Agile.
• Agile fundamentals:  Agile practices and processes are based on several values, principles, and individual mindsets.  You will find that teams that are successful with Agile development share these attributes.
• Agile adoption patterns: This technique describes Agile practices (smaller granularity such as stand up meeting, iteration, test-first development) instead of processes (Scrum, eXtreme Programming) and helps you determine which practices are relevant to your context.  This is a tailored approach based on your organization's current business values and pains.
