7th ANNUAL STATE of
AGILE
VERSIONONE® Agile Made Easier
DEVELOPMENT SURVEY
VERSIONON E. COM
Executive Summary Agile Adoption & Use
Organizations are continuing to scale agile
beyond single teams and single projects. This
year we saw a 15% jump in the number of
respondents who work where there are at least 5 agile teams, and a
9% increase in those working with up to 5 agile projects. In addition,
in agile momentum is up; those who plan to implement agile
development in future projects has increased from 59% last year to
83% this year.
Most are using Scrum or Scrum variants (72%), as in past years.
Kanban and Kanban variants nearly doubled this year, mostly due to
an uptick in Scrumban use. This year we wanted to know how people
are using Kanban. For most, Kanban methodologies including
Scrumban were being applied to processes inside the software
organization only (61%).
Knowledge & Execution
Software professionals are becoming more
experienced with agile. The number of
respondents who have practiced agile for 5
or more years grew from 18% in 2011 to 25%
in 2012. There was also tremendous growth in the 2-5 years of
experience group, which increased from 37% to 64%.
When asked who knows agile the most and the least about agile
within their organizations, not surprisingly respondents believed that
those closest to the work were most agile-savvy - 57% said
ScrumMasters and Project Managers are the most knowledgeable.
The least agile-savvy groups were Product Owners (3%) and
Executives (2%). The topic of Agile Portfolio Management (APM) was
relatively new or unfamiliar for most. Only one-quarter were
practicing, learning about, or planning to practice APM.
This year we dug a bit deeper into why agile initiatives fail and found
that in two-thirds of the cases, it was either a failure to integrate the
right people or to teach a team-based culture. Other reasons
included a communication problem between the development team
and other areas of the business, or a ScrumMaster problem, such as
having responsibilities outside of the role. In terms of lessons learned
when scaling agile beyond a single team, respondents said the most
important success factor is to ensure the effort has sufficient
executive sponsorship. Having a training program, internal support
groups, and common tools were also cited as important lessons
learned.

Benefits
Ninety percent of respondents said that
implementing agile improved their
ability to manage changing priorities.
More people are also seeing value in
terms of project visibility when implementing agile (84% compared
to 77% in 2011). In addition, the general perception of agile is up.
When asked, "If you could say one thing to your company president
about agile, what would you say7" respondents were very positive.
Common responses were around cultural change, hiring a
knowledgeable ScrumMaster, investing in training, adoption from the
top-down, and giving agile enough time to succeed.
Agile Tools
When looking at the general types of tools
currently in use, the biggest jump over the
last year was Taskboards ( + 11%), followed
by Kanban boards ( + 10%), Agile Project
Management Tools ( +8%), and Release
Management (+8%).
On average, respondents used between 3 and 4 different tools, with
a handful having used as many as 15. Specific tools most commonly
used continue to be standard office productivity tools such as Excel,
followed by specialized tools like Microsoft Project, VersionOne and
Atlassian/JIRA.
The survey also asked respondents whether they would recommend
the tool(s) they are using based on their past or present use. Of the
tools evaluated, VersionOne was the number one recommended out
of any other tool (93% of users would recommend it), followed by
LeanKit (92%), and Atlassian/JIRA (92%). Interestingly, while Excel was
the most commonly used tool (69%), nearly 40% of these users said
they would NOT recommend Excel as an effective agile management
tool.
When those using a tool were asked how they decided it was time for
a tool, the most commonly cited reasons were (1) more collaboration,
(2) visualization of workflow, (3) co-located/offshore teams unable to
see physical boards, and (4) roll-up metrics across projects/groups.
