Executive summary

4

Thissurveyrepresentstheresultsof109responsessubmittedfordifferentorganisationaltypes(company,department,orproject),operatinginGermany.

Top findings:

1. Reducing time-to-market and improving customer satisfaction are the top reasons for adopting Agile, whereas the top outcome is improved collabo-ration across departments and teams. Thus, the reasons for Agile adoption differ from its direct outcomes.

2. Improved time-to-market and improved customer satisfaction are the two most used metrics of success and benefits along with improved transparen-cy and communication.

3. Almost one third of the respondents have implemented Agile in selected projects and another third stated that it is applied in software development projects. Most of the respondents are currently at the early stages of Agile adoption.

4. Less than half of Agile roadmaps cover corporate culture, although 82% of the respondents understand Agile as a mindset.

5. Agile coaching is reported to be the most beneficial tool for Agile adoption.

6. The three most mentioned key words relating to Agile are “flexibility”, “self-organised teams”, and “iterative”.
