State of Scrum
(August 17, 2007)

Member survey by the Scrum Alliance shows the framework is gaining traction with organizations as it meets or exceeds expectations.

The Scrum approach to managing software development projects is meeting or exceeding expectations and expanding within organizations that have adopted the agile framework, according to a member survey released by the Scrum Alliance, a not-for-profit organization focused on the worldwide successful adoption of Scrum.

Asked about their companies’ satisfaction with the Scrum process, 75 percent of Scrum Alliance members report that it is meeting or exceeding their organizations’ needs. Forty-five percent report their organizations are either very pleased with Scrum or believe it exceeds their organizations’ expectations, and 90 percent report personal satisfaction with Scrum.

Within organizations that employ Certified ScrumMasters (CSMs), 53 percent report that 50-100 percent of their total development work is accomplished using the Scrum process.
