A11.

Preferred Development Methodology

Agile and its related methodologies account for almost 40% of respondents. Waterfall is a distant second at 15%. The most striking response is "don't know" at 30%. This relatively high response may suggest a greater than ideal distance between product management and development teams.

The essence of the most common "other" response suggested a hybrid approach. Locations, teams, complexity and size of project were cited as influencing factors.

Most interesting comments:

"No official development methodology - most tried"

and

"An iterative, agilish waterfall method"
