VersionOne, recognized by agile practitioners as the leader in agile project management tools, today announced that the company has launched its seventh annual State of Agile Development Survey.

The State of Agile Development Survey provides respondents and industry professionals with insight into best practices for the effective adoption and scaling of agile development initiatives. Launching during the Agile2012 conference in Dallas, the survey will remain open for participation through September 2012.

In its seventh year, the State of Agile Development survey is sponsored by VersionOne and conducted by independent research firm, Analysis.Net. Emerging as one of the preeminent surveys for the agile development market, the State of Agile Development survey has received more than 20,000 responses in its first six years, with more than 6,000 software professionals participating in 2011.

“Agile development is constantly evolving, making it increasingly important that software organizations understand best practices and current trends.  Feedback from their peers on proven benefits, challenges and successes helps them to get the most out of their agile experience,” said Robert Holler, president and CEO of VersionOne. “The Annual State of Agile Development survey is a key component of our commitment to make agile easier to adopt for organizations of all sizes.”

The State of Agile Development survey is now open to industry professionals attending the Agile2012 conference and to online respondents. Those who complete the survey will be provided with the results first, giving them unique insight into the latest agile development trends and practices. In addition, respondents will be entered into a raffle to win one of several prizes including a MacBook Air 11, two new Apple iPads, and Amazon gift cards.

For those interested in responding to the survey, it can be found online at http://agiledevsurvey.com, or stop by VersionOne’s booth on the Agile2012 exhibition floor. Show attendees who stop by the company’s booth to complete the survey can also sign up to receive a complementary trial of the VersionOne product.
