reactions Agile development has been used effectively for a number of years, but
its adoption has primarily been limited to pockets within
organizations. Lately, adoption has begun to grow in industries such as
insurance, telecom and financial services; but for agile development to
become mainstream, it needs backing by major industry players, a
unified rather than scattered agile landscape, and evolutionary rather
than revolutionary agile transformations. Recently, Liz Barnett, Agile Journal Editor-in-Chief, talked with Per Kroll, Development Manager for RUP and the IBM
Rational Method Composer about how Agile has gone "mainstream." The interview is now available in a 3 part podcast series for Agile Talk. You can listen to part one at AgileJournal.comAgile development has been used effectively for a number of years, but

In Part One, Liz Barnett introduces us to the distinction between capital "A" agile and small "a" agile and explains why this difference is important to understanding the rapid adoption of agile development practices. Per also addresses a common roadblock to agile adoption, that mainstream development organizations often go for the "safe bet" rather than venture into unknown territory.
You can also read more about these issues in depth in a recent Agile Journal article by Per Kroll titled "Making Agile Mainstream - Crossing the Chasm."
