For the past three years I have conducted surveys via Dr. Dobb’s Journal (www.ddj.com) into various aspects of agile software development. I’ve explored issues such as the adoption rate of agile, the effectiveness of agile approaches, the effectiveness of various techniques, the effectiveness of combining agile with CMMI, amongst others. I’ve discovered that what occurs in many organizations isn’t always what you hear about on some of the mailing lists or read about in articles and books. This presentation presents the critical survey findings and explores several interesting trends.
Lecture driven by a Powerpoint presentation consisting of a heck of a lot of pie charts, histograms, and maybe even a line chart or two.
