Key findings from the report include the observation that Scrum is growing rapidly, not only in Software Development, but in industries far beyond. In addition, the responses indicate that Scrum is positioned to help businesses tailor their efforts for the “Age of the Customer.” The report reveals that the leading reason organizations are using Scrum is to deliver business value to their customers.
“The State of Scrum report is our first global study which looks at who is using Scrum and how they are practicing Scrum. The report provides a lot of statistics and an interesting outlook for Scrum moving forward,” said Carol McEwan, Managing Director of the Scrum Alliance.
