Agile development survey

I received an email yesterday inviting me to complete a "State of Agile" survey. I had a little time available so I started merrily clicking on radio buttons, pleased to be contributing to the broader knowledge base of the Agile community.

But then I stopped. Why? I started to realise that the answers I was giving to very black-and-white questions were going to give a false impression of the state of our organisation when it comes to Agile development. Rather than skew the results of the survey, I decided not to submit it at all.

I also question the value of an agile survey sent only to people with an interest in the subject.
