Survey respondents work in companies of all sizes from small and mid-sized organizations to the largest global corporations. This survey summarizes the state of Agile Development in organizations covering every industry vertical from financial services, health care, and education to video games, government, and defense.

VersionOne About Town

VersionOne was most recently exhibiting at SD Best Practices in Boston with our partner Net Objectives. After an Agile specific conference like Agile 2006, it was great to see interest in Agile practices across the board from a more traditional conference. As in past years at SD Best Practices (SD East), Allan Shalloway of Net Objectives continued to provide some of the most popular and well attended talks.

Robert Holler, CEO of VersionOne, will be presenting at the Software Business conference October 18th in Denver, CO. If you are attending this conference, make sure to take in his presentation: "The Agile Development Megatrend – On a You Need to Know Basis"
