AMISA℠ blends maturity and sentiment to reveal what’s working, what’s breaking, and why.
Primary Signal: Backlog Readiness + Ownership Clarity
Activity is not the same as progress. AMISA℠ exposes the gap between how Agile looks and how it actually performs.
Ceremonies. Artifacts. Metrics. All in place.
Blocked flow. Unclear ownership. Low confidence.

AMISA℠ is The Higgins Approach diagnostic system for measuring Agile maturity, delivery sentiment, execution friction, and root-cause risk.
Most Agile assessments focus on process adoption. AMISA℠ focuses on whether Agile is producing execution clarity, reliable ownership, and delivery confidence.
Timing depends on team count, tool access, delivery complexity, and the level of readout required.
AMISA℠ is built for organizations where Agile activity is visible, but predictability, confidence, ownership, or reporting clarity still needs improvement.
The output may include a scorecard, maturity and sentiment heatmap, root-cause map, risk register, and 30/60/90-day improvement roadmap.
AMISA℠ can be used as a baseline before a reset, then repeated after major delivery changes or at periodic maturity checkpoints.
No. AMISA℠ is The Higgins Approach’s proprietary diagnostic methodology used to assess Agile maturity, delivery sentiment, execution friction, and root-cause risk. Clients receive the assessment outputs and recommendations, not a software license or access to the internal scoring model.
Tell us what is breaking down. We will review the delivery challenge and determine whether The Higgins Approach is the right diagnostic fit.
