Abstract
For the purpose of gathering data about the current usage of agile software development methods in the Czech Republic, a survey among the Czech agile practitioners was conducted. The research was based on a quantitative survey based on convenience sampling and evaluated by means of descriptive statistics. The paper describes a specific part of the survey, which focuses on the Scaled Agile Methods adoption and way of usage. The sub-sample of 26 answers was analysed to gain initial insights into the patterns of adoption of these methods in the Czech Republic. The results indicate that the usage of Scaled Agile Methods is not insignificant and generally in line with global results. The paper also outlines to what extent Scaled Agile Methods are tailored to company needs and how their benefits to project success are perceived by practitioners.
