Given the complexity inherent in the interweaving of agile and digital transformation, this paper aims to decipher these two similar yet different phenomena by fostering a deeper understanding of their coexistence and the potential benefits they can offer when implemented concurrently. Therefore, we have conducted a comprehensive systematic literature review on agile transformation (AT), digital transformation (DT), and agile digital transformation (ADT) as a synthesis of these concepts, encompassing over thirty papers published in the past eight years that have been deemed relevant to one or more elements of ADT. The key contributions of this paper lie in identifying and explaining the various interplays between agile and digital transformation and in creating a unified perspective on this subject presented through a conceptual ADT model grounded in levels of agility and digitalization. Accordingly, this paper surveys both theoretical and practical implications of agile and digital transformations, thus proposing a strategic approach to transformation and the conceptual model for ADT. Moreover, the proposed ADT model can be used as maturity assessment tool that helps organisations recognize and streamline their transformative initiatives.
