More and more Ukrainian companies claim they implement Agile approaches. Someone does it for promotion, someone does it without announcements, someone invests a lot of money to move the entire organization, and someone introduces gradually in selected teams. Implementing Agile approaches is not the Olympics and we can not say that someone takes the first place while someone the last. A "norm" doesn't exist and Agile maturity level of a company/team isn't defined. Companies are not compared or evaluated individually and only the overall condition of an industry is accessed. This talk is about the overall picture of Ukrainian teams compared to the global community in 2010. A short summary of many interesting observations.
