Agile Project Management Fact-Finding Survey Report 2024

– Proposals for Promoting Wise Leadership –

Abstract

The 2024 Agile Project Management survey revealed that organizational efforts to adopt Agile remained stagnant compared to the previous year, showing little progress. The Net Promoter Score (NPS) for Agile among experienced practitioners was -4, marking the fifth consecutive year of negative scores.

On the other hand, adopting Agile, particularly in hybrid approaches, has progressed. And 60% of respondents stated they are "well-acquainted with and resonate with" the Agile Manifesto, indicating widespread awareness. Similarly, as in the previous year, respondents who believed they had "effectively implemented" the principles of the PMBOK^🄬 Guide consistently reported high NPS scores. This suggests that these respondents belong to groups that are successfully integrating Agile processes and methodologies. To expand this successful group, this report proposes applying "Wise Leadership," a knowledge-creation management theory, to promote its practice.
