Our Agile Methodologies Survey - the amazing results

Software development is cheaper, faster and delivering better business value when Agile Methodologies such as Extreme Programming are used. That is the result of our survey on the use of Agile Methodologies: a new software development theory that encourages results over process. To be 'Agile' is to value people, working software, relationships with customers and responsiveness to a changing environment.

"Shine Technologies has been using Agile processes since we started, we just didn't have a name for it. When we came across the Agile Alliance (http://www.agilealliance.org/) we found others finally had. Our own professional experience backs up the results of this survey, but what surprised us was the level of success being achieved amongst practitioners." Says Mark Johnson, Principal.

The survey results have been unexpectedly positive;

93% said team productivity improved

88% found the quality of applications was better

83% experienced better business satisfaction with the software

As a practitioner of Agile, Rob Clark, Director of Product Management, Oracle says, "First, we delivered on schedule. Then, what we delivered was well received from the customers. We had comments like 'this is the best and most useful release of the product we have ever seen.' "
