ThoughtWorks has announced the results of their recently conducted "Agile Adoption in India Survey 2011". The survey was carried out earlier this year in partnership with CIOL to understand the Agile adoption trends in business and IT in India. The survey captured responses from 770 IT practitioners and executives from 330 organisations across the country.
"The market for Agile is growing rapidly in India. Through our survey, we wanted to gain a deeper insight into the current Agile usage, benefits, trends, and challenges faced by CEOs and CIOs in Indian organisations. The results showed that progress towards Agile is being made, but that adoption must be carefully managed to introduce and embed all relevant practices, otherwise anticipated benefits might not be realized," Sudhir Tiwari, MD, ThoughtWorks, India said.
Rama Jayanti, VP Engineering (ETI) Emptoris, Inc said, "Faster time-to-market, improvement in quality and increased ability to respond to change were the key drivers for us to embrace Agile. ThoughtWorks' extensive experience in Agile methods and their ability to apply this experience to our Product Development context helped us define our first Agile implementation and successfully execute the same. Partnering with the ThoughtWorks India Consulting team has resulted in a faster cycle time for delivery, and it has also improved collaboration across the business and product development teams."
