Copyright 2017 Scott Ambler + Associates About the Survey Ran from May 10, 2017 to May 31 2017 under the title “May 2017 Agile Mini-Survey” Survey link included in: www.ambysoft.com/surveys/ page Posting to Agile and Lean; Disciplined Agile discussion groups on LinkedIn Twitter postings via @scottwambler Data, summary, and slides downloadable from www.ambysoft.com/surveys/ 192 respondents Questions included an “I don’t know” option. When processing the data from those questions, we have excluded those answers from the analysis. A bit disappointed with only 54 responses. It is very difficult to get people to fill out a survey that is focused on data issues. Copyright 2017 Scott Ambler + Associates
