|
| Scott Ambler's 2007 survey indicated a number of interesting findings include 69% of organizations are doing one or more agile projects. Of those that hadn't yet started, 24% believed their organizations would do so within the next year.
44% indicated a 90%+ success rate at agile projects, 33% indicated between 75 and 90%. It appears that agile seems to be working out.
Co-located agile projects are more successful on average than non-co-located, which in turn are more successful than projects involving offshoring.
Smaller teams had higher success rates than larger teams. And 85% of organizations doing agile had more than one project completed, so it's gone beyond the pilot project stage in most organizations. |
