Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in our research. We are investigating human factors in software development. Our aim is to develop better ways of creating software and managing software development.

Agile Values Survey

Our ongoing work focuses on values. Many software development approaches, like Lean and Agile, put special emphasis on values, but little is known of what they mean in different contexts. We need your help to advance both the scientific and practical understanding of values in software development.

We ask for roughly 30 minutes of your time. In return, you can get a report on the study results which you can use in your own work.
