This paper presents some findings on an empirical study conducted to understand the effects of adopting agile methodologies in indus- trial software projects in the Apulian district (south of Italy). From 2014 to 2016, eleven software houses of the district migrated from traditional to agile methodologies, and collected an interesting set of measures during the transition. This paper reports some findings on collected data. Even if the limited set of subjects does not allow for a sound, robust statistical analysis, some preliminary results are interesting and show possible trends that may motivate further research and empirical assessments.
