The document discusses the limitations of traditional waterfall software development methods and presents agile as a more effective alternative. It cites survey data showing high failure rates for waterfall projects and emphasizes the significant improvements in productivity, quality, and cost efficiency associated with agile practices. The results indicate that agile methodologies are increasingly adopted in the industry due to their ability to deliver value more quickly and respond to changes effectively.
Why Agile
- 1. Why Agile Created by: Saqib Javed John (PMP, ACP, ITIL, SCJP, SCWCD)
- 2. Software Development Survey Data o 31% of software development projects are cancelled o 75% of software development projects considered fail by those who initiated o 66% of the projects do not meet the needs of users or have to rewrite
- 3. Why Waterfall Not o 82% of Projects practice waterfall practices as their primary reason of failure o In waterfall only 10% of the code developed was actually utilized and rest all was the wasted effort o One in every two projects exceeds its budget by (200%) 2 o Most projects face the “Deadline Rush” and “Features Cut”
- 4. Why Agile o According to the Jan 2012 survey by PM Network Magazine, 90% of Software Project Managers that were interviewed said, they were using some form of Agile. 90% (4000 out of 4700) o Gartner: 80% of Software development projects would use Agile by the end of 2012 o 74% of IT professionals surveyed had practices Agile in some form or other
- 5. Why Agile o Data from 15183 respondents worldwide suggests consensus on Agile compared with Traditional (companies involved in this survey are shine, Agile Journal, Microsoft, Amby Soft, IT Agile and Version One) o 67% more Productivity o 65% more Quality o 49% better on cost o Use of Agile has been tripled from Dec 2008 to May 2011
- 6. Why Agile o Waterfall vs. Agile Waterfall Failed 29% Success 14% Challenged 57% Agile Failed 9% Success 42% Challenged 49% o In terms of success there is an improvement of 200% in case of Agile practices, that’s why industry is tilting towards Agile o In waterfall code is not shippable until the end but in Agile code is always shippable
- 7. Why Agile o Agile deliver value sooner, gives higher ROI, better application & interfaces o team is given freedom to make decisions and respond freely to changes o Lack of emphasis on designing and documentations as in Agile projects documentation should be bare-sufficient o Agile teams escalate fewer issues than waterfall team o Requires senior developers who have skills to adapt o Agile is creating Innovative Products o Agile is a combination of “People Skills” and “Process Skills”
