I have been performing surveys via Dr. Dobb's Journal pertaining to agile software development topics.  I've decided to make the data available to others so that they can evaluate it, and hopefully share their findings, with others. 

Agile Surveys

• Agile Adoption Rate Survey (March 2006)
• Agile Adoption Rate Survey (March 2007)
• Agile Adoption Rate Survey (February 2008)
• Agile Practices and Principles Survey (July 2008)

Data Management Surveys

• Current State of Data Management Survey (July 2006)
• Current State of Data Quality Techniques (September 2006)

Other Surveys

• IT Project Success Rates Survey (August 2007)
• Process Framework Survey (January 2008)
• Modeling and Documentation Survey (July 2008)

Why Share This Much Information?

I'm sharing the results, and in particular the source data, of my surveys for several reasons:

1. Other people can do a much better job of analysis than I can.  If they publish online, I am more than happy to include links to their articles/papers.
2. Once I've published my column summarizing the data in DDJ, I really don't have any reason not to share the information.
3. I think that it's a good thing to do and I invite others to do the same.
