      ab: The article discusses the results of an online survey which investigated the views of senior information technology executives in Great Britain regarding the principles of agile software development, as opposed to more traditional models. Agile software design is said to be characterized by an emphasis on collaboration and interaction. It is contrasted with older plan-based approaches, which are said to favor tools and documentation. The results of the survey indicated that some of the agile software principles, such as frequent updates, were becoming widespread. Others, such as dynamic prioritization, were not.
