State of Agile Development in 2008
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.
