Reading through the data makes me think that the agile adoption number is actually a bit lower than that. The data on methodology adoption (figure 1)makes me suspect that people who are using “other” methodologies or “don’t know”  what methodology they’re following might well be doing something like Scrumerfall - which I don’t consider .
