Agile by the Numbers: What People Are Really Doing in Practice

Summary

This talk summarizes the results of 4 years of industry surveys concerning the adoption and effectiveness of agile techniques. Very often the reality is significantly different than the rhetoric presented in mailing lists, in articles, and even in books. Many myths or ideas around Agile are explored, and some are proven false and some confirmed to be true based on survey results.

    For example: he poo-poos certification, but it's not about the certification, it's about a mechanism to keep the quality of the training high. This is just one example of where Scott doesn't really have a clue.
