The use and teaching of agile software development in the Czech Republic

Abstract

Digital transformation requires usage of effective software development methods, techniques, and tools for innovative IT solutions development. Agile methods, that are broadly adopted in recent years, fulfil this role. The aim of this report is to point to Agile surveys conducted in the Czech Republic. First survey was focused on the state of agile method adoption in companies in the Czech Republic and was conducted in 2019. Second survey, conducted in 2020, was focused on education of agile approaches at universities in the Czech Republic. The report shows, there is a contradiction between practise needs and the status of university education in the Czech Republic which is compared to the status in the world.
