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.
