Agile Results
In February 2008 Scott Ambler of IBM conducted a survey on agile adoption (www.agilemodeling.com/surveys). He collected responses from 642 responses from the readership of Dr. Dobbs Journal. This represents a knowledgeable but not necessarily pro agile group. However, the results show positive results for teams employing agile practices and methods.

Reduce Social Debt
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
