This page contains an interactive table of the results of the Big Agile Practices Survey. You can sort each of the columns by clicking the headers, or multiple by holding down the shift key as well. You can choose to highlight only certain percentage ranges, and decide to only show certain columns or areas. Have fun!
The table below shows a lot of data, which is why it is wider than your screen. To get it to fit your screen, unselect a few columns using the "Filter on Columns" section below. For instance hiding the confidence columns should make the table fit in a 1024px wide window.
Short descriptions of what the various colums mean are below the table.
If you would like to leave a comment on this page, please do so on the post on my blog about this table. If you want to leave a comment about the survey you're probably better off leaving it on Jurgen's post.
I'm a freelance software developer currently with some time to spare. See the top of this page for details on how to get me involved on your project.
