CollabNet has just published its 12 Annual Report on "The State of Agile". This makes interesting reading, although some filtering may be necessary as responses are dominated by North American participants in its survey. So for example SAFe tends to the prevalent approach taken to scaling Agile, which is more popular in the US than Europe.
To me, the most interesting bits are the high percentages of survey respondents reporting significant Business Value Oriented Benefits. Over 60% of respondents claimed:
- Better responsiveness to Changing Priorities;
- Improved Project Visibility;
- Enhanced Business/IT Alignment;
- Increased Speed to Delivery;
- Higher Productivity;
- Raised Team Morale.
The percentages far exceed the reasons for pursuing Agile. The other interesting metric is that only a fifth of respondents reported lower costs, which is in line with Agile philosophy, but still good to see confirmed.
The other key takeaway is that an increasingly high number of businesses have adopted both agile and DevOps as their mainstream approach.
