You are invited to participate in an internet survey for a dissertation by Donald Buresh, a Ph.D. student at Northcentral University located in Prescott Valley, Arizona. The topic of the dissertation is assessing agile project management and customer satisfaction.

Go here to take the survey: http://www.assessingagilepm.com/.

The questionnaire will ask you about a software development project that was recently completed within your organization. It will take you about 15 minutes to answer the questions. The questionnaire will ask you a series of questions about the project, including whether the software product was developed using agile-driven or plan-driven methods. If you do not know the answer, the questionnaire will ask you a series of three questions, and based on your responses, it is smart enough to decide what software methodology was employed. The questionnaire will then ask you other questions about the software development project. If at any time you decide not to participate in the survey, you need only exit the survey window, and your data will not be collected. When you have completed the survey, please press the appropriate button to submit your responses, and then close the survey window.

All of your responses will be anonymous and all of your data will be held in the strictest confidence. From your responses, it will not be possible to identify you or your organization. Since the data obtained from this questionnaire will be used in a doctoral dissertation, the results may possibly appear in an academic or trade publication. None of your responses will ever be revealed.

Thank you for considering to participate in this survey. If you do participate in the survey, and want to obtain a copy of the dissertation, please email Donald L. Buresh.
