Important points
The success rates found in this series of surveys is significantly more optimistic than the results promoted by the CHAOS report. This is because this survey asks people to define success in the terms in which the teams were actually judged, as opposed to imposing a definition of success on them (such as on time, on budget, to spec which less than 10% of people actually subscribe to)Agile, lean and iterative strategies were superior on average to traditional and ad-hoc strategies
There was no statistical difference between the effectiveness of agile and iterativeThere was no statistical difference between traditional and ad hoc.Copyright 2014 Scott W. Ambler www.ambysoft.com/surveys/Slide5
