Over 90% of survey respondents are actively involved in the product development process. Those who lack an understanding of the method in use clearly are part of organizations that underperform. \u00a0Additionally, those who believe using Agile\/Scrum leads to high product profitability are more likely to be in organizations that perform well financially. Knowledge clearly makes a difference.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top Tools and Automation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lastly, the most highly productive teams believe their effectiveness would increase through the use of better tools and automation. Here, again, knowledge makes a difference. Teams that have implemented effective team processes are looking to expand their uptake of DevOps and Extreme Programming (XP) practices with the latest automated refactoring, test, build, and infrastructure-deployment tools.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As of this post, we conclude our exploration of the findings drawn from the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/actuationconsulting.com\/study-product-team-performance\/\"><em>Global Study of Product Team Performance<\/em><\/a>.
