Way back in 2004 Lamri ran a series of seminars focussed on the business of planning and estimating software development projects.  We preceded each seminar with a short survey and then published the conclusions after the seminar as a resource on the Lamri website.  I think news yesterday of challenges on the ‘Trusted Borders’ project prompted me to wonder if the state of the art as actually practiced has moved on since 2004.  So with your permission I include the same survey questions we asked back in 2004.  They are simple and short so I invite you to complete the survey by answering each question and hitting ‘Vote’ after each.  I’ll write up the results in a few weeks and post back.  Many thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for completing this short poll.  I do confess it is simplistic but its the same questions we asked back in 2004 so for consistencies sake ….  By the way if you are interested in seeing our 2004 report have a look here at Major Challenges to Software Projects Survey.
