VersionOne today released the results of their fifth annual “State of Agile Development” survey. For those of us who have been in the trenches, these results are not surprising, but it’s sure nice to see our anecdotal evidence backed up by a survey that sampled over 4,500 respondents.
As you read the survey results, pay special attention to the question, “How Many Teams Adopted Agile?” 29% of those surveyed work for companies with 10 or mores agile teams, with another 17% reporting between 5 and 10 agile teams. That’s huge — and it should put rest any lingering doubts about whether or not Agile has gone mainstream.
