Abstract:
The objective of this study is to provide first-hand knowledge on how agile methods are being adopted in the Spanish software industry compared to the European industry. Methodologies, practices and employed strategies as well as business drivers addressing the adoption of agile methods were assessed using a questionnaire-based survey. Data from the Spanish industry were gathered from the audience of last Agile Open Spain event held on October 2009. At an European level, the survey was conducted along five organizations that are known to be the frontiers in adopting agile methods. The comparison of results provides interesting differences in the adoption process. At the European level, a remarkable finding is the growing interest on applying methodologies such as Lean Software Development based on value production.
