This study discusses cases of Japanese user companies in different industries and business categories that have adopted enterprise agile in information system development. The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of these approaches and the processes leading to investment decisions and approvals by illustrating them as models. We conducted semi-structured interviews with seven practitioners involved in planning and investing in agile development in companies, and analyzed their investment decisions and approvals in the categories of strategy, budget and organization, and process. From the model diagram, we confirmed that the management’s strong awareness of corporate innovation is linked to the ability to respond quickly, the method of selecting projects, and the procedure for securing budgets. Furthermore, based on the concepts obtained from the analysis, we created a table that allows us to confirm the position of the companies involved in Enterprise Agile. By utilizing this table, companies can objectively grasp the status of their efforts, and furthermore, by considering future measures, they can lead to the continuous realization of Enterprise Agile.
