Abstrakt: Agile transformation has evolved from an IT-centered approach into a multidisciplinary paradigm that shapes how organizations innovate, lead, and deliver value. Despite the growing prevalence of agile practices in industry, academic research on agile transformation remains fragmented, with limited understanding of its broader organizational, cultural, and strategic dimensions. This paper addresses two research questions: What is the current academic landscape of agile transformation research, and what future research directions are necessary to meet emerging challenges? We combine a bibliometric analysis of 703 agile transformation publications (1994-2022) with insights from a practitioner focus group of Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, and consultants. The findings reveal key research streams and highlight four priority areas for future inquiry: organizational culture and leadership, the measurable impact of agile practices, scaling agility across complex systems, and adapting agility for AIdriven and distributed workplaces. We offer both theoretical contributions and actionable recommendations for academics and practitioners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
