Agile Development Methodology Talent Gap

Who’s Hiring & Who is Hirable? The Agile Development Methodology Talent Gap infographic from Yoh points out why it is so hard to find agile developers and why the pros get paid the big bucks.

The rapid adoption of the agile development methodology has created a sizable talent gap. The INFOGRAPHIC from Yoh uncovers the impact: 

• Demand outstrips supply by nearly 4x
• Companies have to pay a premium for Agile expertise
• The agile talent gap is most significant in thePacific Northwest
• Labor pressure for agile talent goes from bad to worse
• Competition for agile talent is fierce

Good design, and certainly eye opening for agile developers and employers.  The only visualization I struggled with was the Experience stacked bar, because the bar sizes don’t match the data shown.  Not even close.

Thanks to Stephen for sending in the link!

Actually, regarding the experience stacked bar, the numbers are just reversed....they need to reverse the order of the stacked bar, then it will match.
