All,
I have been reading all about FDD, Agile, SCRUM, etc. I think these are all useful and can be applied successfully to many types of projects, however; I cant find any real data that shows that these approaches actually work. I am not talking about anecdotal data, but rather quantitative data that shows that these approaches are truly beneficial.
Chaos Report
In the data based CHAOS report agile is within the Top 10 success factors for software projects: http://www.infoq.com/articles/Interview-Johnson-Standish-CHAOS
Is that useful for you?

Curious...
What do you mean by "truly beneficial", and how would quantitative data show that?
