Abstract

Organizations are adopting Agile through a combination of bottom-up adoption and top-down change. But the reality of Agile adoption has diverged from the original ideas described in the Agile Manifesto, with many adoptions resembling what Forrester labels water-Scrum-fall. This model is not necessarily bad, but if application development professionals do not carefully consider and make the right decisions about where the lines fall between water-Scrum and Scrum-fall, they are unlikely to realize Agile's benefits. Supplemental Material nOTES & RESOuRcES Over the past two years, Forrester has interviewed more than 300 companies and 100 vendors that are driving the adoption of Agile either through its use or with their tools. Forrester also conducted four Agile-related surveys in 2009 to 2010, all of which influenced this document.
