Failed agile IT projects have cost British businesses to waste around \u00a337 billion over the last 12 months, according to CIOs.<\/p>\n
A survey was carried out by 6point6 in the UK and US to explore agile experiences, and to inspect how successful agile principles are being executed and applied.<\/p>\n
The findings show that 12% of agile projects are completely failing, and taking into consideration that there are around 6000 agile projects in the UK that cost approximately \u00a38 million, a lot of money has been wasted.<\/p>\n
Research also exposed that 95% of CIOs have worked in an agile environment, including multiple teams and projects; although organisations must build their own scaled agile methodology or learn an existing one, as agile doesn\u2019t provide a means to scale up or out.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe truth is, that despite the hype, agile development doesn\u2019t always work in practice,\u201d says 6point6 CIO and Co-founder, Chris Porter.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a conservative estimate. We\u2019ve only looked at agile IT projects that fail\u00a0completely. This doesn\u2019t include the waste involved in agile projects that fail only partially. UK and US CIOs now estimate that nearly 32% of agile projects fail to some degree. The failure to apply agile effectively is a huge problem for the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n
