The drive to accelerate product delivery has increased the urgency for adopting agile methods. In a rush to be productive, technical professionals commonly neglect the innumerable years of combined real-world agile experience and guidance available to them: Adopting agile like no one else has ever successfully adopted it before. Failure to leverage this wealth of knowledge and experience can leave you lost in an agile wilderness — with no guidance on how to safely more forward. This session will present the findings from three years of Gartner’s Agile in the Enterprise survey to help attendees understand what other organizations have done to not only survive agile adoption, but to also succeed.
• What technical practices lead to success?
• What behaviors and culture changes are essential?
• What is the impact of Enterprise Agile Frameworks on adoption?

The drive to accelerate product delivery has increased the urgency for adopting agile methods. In a rush to be productive, technical professionals commonly neglect the innumerable years of combined real-world agile experience and guidance available to them: Adopting agile like no one else has ever successfully adopted it before. Failure to leverage this wealth of knowledge and experience can leave you lost in an agile wilderness — with no guidance on how to safely more forward. This session will present the findings from three years of Gartner’s Agile in the Enterprise survey to help attendees understand what other organizations have done to not only survive agile adoption, but to also succeed.
• What technical practices lead to success?
• What behaviors and culture changes are essential?
• What is the impact of Enterprise Agile Frameworks on adoption?
