And The Agile Survey Says… 2 Years, 6 Months ago Karma: 0  
This thread discusses the Content article: And The Agile Survey Says…

First of all - thanks for the journal!
I look forward to the coming issues.
Two comments on the interpretation of the survey results:
Figure 3: 32% are only learning about Agile processes and 21% are considering to use them - my less enthousiastic interpretation would be that
- 1/3 is using them,
- 1/3 is considering to use them and most likely
- 1/3 do not see a fit for.
Figure 4: I am astonished by the fact that XP and FDD are head-by-head and SCRUM made only the third place (the interpretation inthe article is not quite the same). Publications about use of FDD are very rare compared with XP and Scrum (that's the reason for my astonishment). The Agile Journal could perhaps solicit experience reports on FDD.

You're right that it is somewhat surprising to see such a high use of FDD (26%). I don't know whether it's due to the nature of our more mature community or the fact that FDD just doesn't get the press that the other practices enjoy. For most of the companies that I've worked with over the past five years, XP and Scrum were their predominant starting points. But note that for the 15% of those responding "other," many included XP and Scrum techniques in their homegrown processes.

I would love to have FDD experience reports for the journal -- and would encourage our readers to email me ( This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ) with article proposals.

Regarding interpreting the usage of Agile techniques, I still remain bullish that only 12% of those responding don't see a fit for Agile processes; that is a surprisingly low number. Going forward, I'd be most interesting in how widely Agile processes are used within an organization.

Thanks for your comments!
