Arise
The operating model for elite teams
Great teams don’t just happen by accident. They are built on a unified system of capabilities, habits, and clear business goals. ARISE makes team performance visible, pinpoints the next best levers to improve, and links those improvements directly to business KPIs.
the why
ARISE unifies what most organizations keep separate: team outcomes (what the business feels) and team behaviors (what people do every day).
co/3
Individual capabilities
A granular layer of micro-behaviors and skills that empower individuals to directly influence and uplift their team’s overall performance scores.
co/1
Team dimensions
A unified scoring framework combining eight universal core capabilities with four adaptive context families to measure health and delivery across any team function
co/3
Business drivers
A set of eight strategic outcomes that link engineering improvements directly to the boardroom agenda.
Time-to-Market
A living engine, not a static report.
A real-time view of reality
The model gives you a real-time view of how your teams work and what they need next. It pulls every dimension of performance into one system that measures, interprets, and guides in the moment.
Adapts as teams evolve
Teams evolve. As teams shift, people rotate, or new members join, the model adapts instantly. Instead of losing momentum, you get continuous clarity, steady alignment, and clear next steps that move your business outcomes forward every day.
From signal to guidance
The model continuously captures signals across flow, quality, collaboration, and morale. It turns those signals into precise guidance—recalibrating automatically across different team types—so performance never slips into guesswork.
co/4
Universal core capabilities
These capabilities act as the universal DNA of high-performing digital teams. By tracking these universals, the model creates a shared language across the entire enterprise, allowing you to benchmark maturity and identify systemic risks regardless of a team’s specific function.
co/5
Context families
Measurement only works if it is fair. The model solves the “apples to oranges” problem by using Context Families. While every team tracks the core capabilities, these four dimensions—Velocity, Reliability, Autonomy, and Experience—automatically adjust their metrics based on the team type.
co/7
Individual capabilities
Most models fail because they stay trapped in executive dashboards. ARISE bridges the gap between strategy and daily work using a “One Ontology, Two Experiences” architecture. Leaders use the Team Lens to diagnose systemic constraints and align investment, while individuals use the Personal Lens to translate those team goals into role-aware micro-habits and learning moments. This creates a closed loop where daily behaviors directly drive capability growth.
co/6
Framework-inclusive
The model focuses on capabilities and evidence, not dogma. It is explicitly designed to work alongside your existing ways of working—whether you use Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, Team Topologies, or a custom hybrid model. Instead of forcing a new process on your teams, it simply measures the effectiveness of the processes you already have, moving the conversation from “are we doing Agile right?” to “are we delivering value?”.
co/8
Don’t just improve teams.
Drive business results.
Stop improving for improvement’s sake. Exceptional teams deliver exceptional value. The model explicitly connects team capabilities to the 8 strategic drivers that define organizational success. By linking engineering metrics directly to business outcomes, the model gives leaders the evidence they need to steer strategy and prove the ROI of transformation.
co/9
Agentic overlay
As AI agents become teammates, your measurement model must evolve. ARISE features an optional “Agentic Overlay” that adds specific metrics for human–AI collaboration—tracking factors like Agent Autonomy Levels, Escalation Latency, and Safe-to-Challenge Protocols. This ensures you aren’t just measuring human output, but the efficacy and safety of your hybrid workforce as you scale agentic capabilities.
