As part of its ongoing collection of data about software development and delivery, Forrester Research has been tracking the state and trajectory of Agile adoption. Agile is clearly a mainstream methodology at this point, but that's only the first part of a much longer story about Agile in practice. This session will cover the state of Agile adoption, as seen through Forrester's collection of survey and interview data. A sample of the questions we'll cover includes...
* How far has Agile adoption spread? * How are teams juggling Agile and other demands? * Which presumed threats to Agile adoption (distributed development, compliance, etc.) are real, and which might be overrated? * Which works better, incremental adoption or big bang? * Is the common mix of Waterfall and Agile (Water-Scrum-Fall) a cause for concern? * Is anyone getting Agile to work with outsourcing partners? * How are Agile and Lean working together these days? * Whose roles and responsibilities are changing the most? * Is Agile demonstrating value in other ways than speed?
