Understanding Agile: An in-depth analysis of Agile success and its drivers

Info-Tech Research Group是全球发展最快的信息技术研究和咨询公司，为30，000多名IT专业人士提供服务。他们提供公正和高度相关的IT研究，以帮助CIO和IT领导者做出战略性，及时和明智的决策。Info-Tech的使命是帮助IT领导者及其团队系统地改进其核心流程和治理，并成功实施关键技术项目。 近年来，Info-Tech已经看到对Agilea组基于更改的软件开发方法和项目流程的内容的需求大幅增长。今天，寻找敏捷内容的Info-Tech成员在其网站上的所有研究下载中排名前5%。 为了改进现有产品，并为当前和潜在客户创建新的循证工具包和资源，Info-Tech依赖于已发布的数据和可用的主要研究。然而，很少有关于敏捷成功的条件或敏捷的哪些方面在某些环境中最好的公开研究。为了填补这一知识空白，信息技术与亨伯学院技术与高级学习学院合作。与Info-Tech合作，亨伯教职员工Pedro Serrador和亨伯信息技术解决方案项目的学生团队将设计和进行大规模调查，并对敏捷方法的全球使用进行深入分析。该项目将为Info-Tech提供急需的数据，然后他们将这些数据转换为客户可用的格式：关于哪些敏捷方法和技术对组织最有益，何时最有效以及如何实施它们的信息。这种合作不仅将为学生提供一个特殊的学习机会，而且还将为Info-Tech提供所需的数据，以更好地支持其现有成员，并获得比其他研究公司更大的竞争优势。

Info-Tech Research Group is the worlds fastest growing information technology research and advisory company, serving over 30,000 IT professionals. They produce unbiased and highly relevant IT research to help CIOs and IT leaders make strategic, timely and well informed decisions. Info-Tech's mission is to help IT leaders and their teams systematically improve their core processes and governance, and successfully implement critical technology projects. In recent years, Info-Tech has seen the demand for content on Agilea group of change-based software development methods and project processesgrow substantially. Today, Info-Tech members looking for Agile content are in the top 5% of all research downloads on their site. In order to improve their existing products and create new evidence-based toolkits and resources for their current and prospective clients, Info-Tech relies on published data and available primary research. However, there is little published research on the conditions for Agile success or what aspects of Agile are best in certain environments. To fill this gap in knowledge, Info-Tech has partnered with Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning. Working with Info-Tech, Humber faculty member Pedro Serrador and a team of students from Humbers Information Technology Solutionsprogram will design and conduct a large-scale survey and perform in depth analysis on the global use of Agile methods. The project will provide Info-Tech with much needed data, which they will then convert into a usable format for their clients: information about which Agile methodologies and techniques are most beneficial to organizations, when they work best, and how to implement them. This collaboration will not only provide an exceptional learning opportunity for students, but will also supply Info-Tech with the data needed to better support their existing members and to gain a competitive advantage over other research firms.
