While trying to address the perennial SCRUM-versus-waterfall question by researching project success rates, I came upon an interesting article in Dr. Dobb's Journal.  After surveying over 300 project management practitioners with expertise in both Agile and traditional methodologies, the Journal was able to quantify success for 71% of Agile projects and 61% “traditional” projects.  Whether this implies that self-organization effectively mitigates at least some risks, or that Agile projects are more disciplined than is commonly perceived, remains open to interpretation [more on this in my next blog entry], but even more interesting were the trends about workplace health, as documented almost as an afterthought on the survey’s periphery^[1].
