Survey results

In November 2007 we surveyed 80 users of the Practical Answers website. The results are shown below:

How useful was the information on the Practical Answers website?

Graph showing wanted features

We plan to offer more videos, greater interactivity and tools to help develop a strong community amongst the development workers using Practical Answers.

How easy was it to find the information needed?

Graph showing levels of diificulty

These results show most of our users have no problem accessing the information, but 30% find it "moderately hard" to access information. Improvements added in March 2008 should address some of these problems.


Data collected between March 2007 - February 2008. Survey responses collected November - December 2007 by 78 active Practical Answers users.
