Take Part in the 2nd Annual 'State of Agile Development' Survey

VersionOne and the APLN would like to invite you to participate in the Second Annual "State of Agile Development" Survey. The survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.

This survey is intended to provide a real-world look into the state of Agile development in today's software development organizations. We will also explore trends from last year's survey which had respondents from 47 countries.

The survey results will be released in August at the Agile 2007 conference in Washington, DC. You will also have the option of getting the results e-mailed directly to you.

We urge you to participate in this important survey and thank you in advance for your time. Your participation in this survey and the results you submit are COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS.

Google and VersionOne have joined up to launch the Agile Advert promotion. Create a short video that has something to do with Agile development (your Agile Advert) and upload it at www.agileadvert.org where you can vote on other videos using the YouTube rating system.

The top 5 videos will be presented and rewarded at the Google party during the Agile 2007 conference in Washington, DC. Subject matter can be anything from ridiculous to serious - have fun with it.
