Version One have released the results of it’s third annual State of Agile Development 2008 Survey.

The results are based on 2319 surveys representing 80 countries and gives a really useful insight into how agile development techniques are being adopted,  most notable to me was the use of Scrum, XP or a hybrid of both covering almost 80% of all agile teams.

Struggling to get agile working or adopted then you probably have issues with the organisations resistance to change and a lack of agile experience in your teams.   These issues were also identified as the key reasons for unsuccessful Agile projects.   It is worth the effort with over 55% or companies reporting 90-100% success rate.
