Some updated Agile metrics to share.
Accroding to The Standish Group press release: In the just-released report, CHAOS Manifesto 2011, The Standish Group's shows a marked increase in project success rates from 2008 to 2010. These numbers represent an uptick in the success rates from the previous study, as well as a decrease in the number of failures. The low point in the last five study periods was 2004, in which only 28% of the projects were successful.
"This year's results represent the highest success rate in the history of the CHAOS Research, says Jim Johnson, chairman of The Standish Group, "We clearly are entering a new understanding of why projects succeed or fail." This understanding is spelled out in the CHAOS Manifesto research report.
