As adoption continues to rise, there are still some significant barriers limiting further growth. Have you experienced any of these challenges?
The 15th State of Agile report from Digital.ai shows that adoption of Agile practices has accelerated over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with ever more teams becoming wholly or partially distributed, flexible delivery and team empowerment is more important than ever.
We see that 86% of software teams are using Agile, up from just 36% in 2020, and Agile continues the march into broader enterprise operations, doubling in non-IT uptake since just 12 months ago!
But we still see that many organisations struggle to fully embrace Agile, citing inconsistent processes across teams, incompatible organisational culture, resistance to change, and a lack of experience with Agile as the primary limiting factors.
As longtime Agile evangelists, we wholeheartedly welcome this continued growth in adoption as validation of the power of this paradigm shift in project and business management. But change is hard; at times it can be downright painful! The important thing is to keep sight of the endgame and ensure that growing pains are viewed as they should be: as a necessary and unavoidable part of genuine change for the better.
We'd love to know: what have been the biggest challenges in adopting Agile practices across your organisation?
