Driving Innovation and Efficiency: The Role of Enterprise Agile Planning (EAP) Tools in Digital Transformation
Quadrant
Knowledge Solutions defines "Enterprise Agile Planning
(EAP) tools" as an evolution from the traditional project and
team-centric software development lifecycle (SDLC) approach. These tools help
organizations implement agile practices at scale, fostering an enterprise-wide
agile development culture. They support enterprise-wide agile transformation by
aligning products, projects, strategic portfolios, and programs with agile
teams across the organization.
EAP tools
offer a centralized platform for planning, managing, and monitoring end-to-end
processes throughout the agile SDLC stages, enabling organizations to develop
outcome-driven and customer-centric processes. They also facilitate seamless
communication and collaboration among teams, promoting real-time feedback and
continuous improvements.
Market
vendors are enhancing support for distributed work and collaboration through
tools like chat, drawing, and freeform content creation and sharing. The market
is increasingly adopting the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), which supports
numerous agile teams in planning and execution.

Strategic
Market Direction:
Vendors
provide Enterprise Agile Planning (EAP) tools that include features for
portfolio rationalization by collecting historical data and offering both large
and small planning windows to determine program priorities. These EAP tools
support frameworks such as the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), Large-Scale Scrum
(LeSS), and Disciplined Agile Delivery (DaD).
The primary
growth drivers for EAP tools include an integrated view of planning and
execution, a shift towards open-source tools, and a focus on converting more
projects to agile while increasing hybrid methods. EAP tools are scaling agile
practices beyond single products and project teams without creating a
bureaucratic, non-agile process. These trends are expected to significantly
enhance the penetration rate and overall market growth of EAP tools.
