Michigan State University would like you to invite you to participate in one of the largest and broadest research studies performed to date on the impacts of agile methodology on project success. While previous studies have focused on particular agile methodologies, or narrow definitions of success, this study seeks to be the first to provide empirical evidence as to the broad impacts of agile development on project success. This study will assist us to understand under which conditions different agile practices, enabling technologies, and management controls is most impactful, and how the various parts of "being agile" interact to be more than the sum of their parts.
