The Agile Mechanism
What mechanism makes that teams and organizations who act according to the Agile Manifesto can respond to change faster and that they deliver more added value with very low costs ? The Agile Manifesto itselve does not really gives an answer to this, I think.
Maybe it does in this format :
Interaction between people to deliver working software in close collaboration with the customer delivers good and early feedback, which leads to adapting the plan if needed
Hmmm … already better, but not yet the clear cup of water I’m looking for.

We have lauched the first Dutch Agile survey!
This survey researches the adoption rate of Agile in the Dutch market. Aim of the research is to share insight in the different Agile methods being used in the Netherlands. Other important subjects are how satisfying the results of Agile are and the critical success factors of Agile projects.
Participate and share your experiences at www.agilesurvey.org (in Dutch). It takes about 10 minutes.
The first results are expected in June and will be presented at a conference held after summer. You can receive them beforehand though: just leave your e-mail address at the end of the survey and we will send them to you.
To get the best results out of this survey we need as many respondents as possible, so please spread the word. Cheers!
