I have been performing surveys pertaining to various issues within the IT community.  I've decided to make the data available to others so that they can evaluate it, and hopefully share their findings, with others. I also have some advice to share about surveying the agile community including how to get feedback about your survey design.  Please take advantage of this free resource.
