"Selling Agile" Survey
Thank you for taking this survey!  I am gathering data on how companies are using Agile (if at all), and specifically I want to gather data on how people are "selling" the use of Agile within companies, regardless of whether they are successful or not.  Even if you can only answer the few required questions, your answers are still very valuable to me.  But the more you can answer, the more helpful the data is!  

I am a software development consultant and Agile practitioner, and I plan to use the data gathered in this survey as part of my Agile 2009 presentation on "How to sell a traditional client on an Agile project plan".  Results of the survey will be published on the OpenSourceConnections.com company blog in August 2009.

A Note on Privacy:  All responses will published anonymously, the contact information is only so I can ask you follow up questions if necessary.  Direct quotes from answers may be used in presentations (although with identifying information left out), but individual names and company/project names will not be used.  If you have questions for me, I can be contacted at aws4q@comm.virginia.edu or 434 996 5226.  

Thanks!
