Major consultancies have recognized that those organizations that have embraced digital transformation have gained, and continue to gain, the knowledge, insight and understanding critical to derive competitive advantage over untransformed competitors. Many articles have highlighted digital transformation as vital to the survival of the organization. But transformation is a big challenge. Enterprises are concerned with uncertainty and unpredictability within their environment and this puts a pressure on the organizational ability to capture and react to external changes. Such organizational and adapting capability is mostly associated with the concept of agility. Agile transformation requires a holistic way of thinking throughout the organization which requires meaningful change of the whole mindset of an organization and its culture. Digital transformation requires business agility, and applying the lessons of Agile to the entire organization is the only approach that has shown consistent success. Many articles and reports have introduced agile as an appropriate framework for digital transformation. But there is no academic paper in this field yet. In this research ,using a systematic literature review, we seek to design life cycle of digital transformation to improve the process of digital transformation of organizations by using agile thinking.
