Re: Second Survey--Please Respond ASAP

The "preference" matrix tables are difficult to read but the results from the previous survey as I read them are:

1. Should the work be moved? Yes. 100% unanimous. 

2. Should work remain in IndieUI? No. 100% unanimous (No or Prefer Not)

3. Where should Events be moved? Very difficult to parse a majority decision in this matrix table. Looks like it's either PF or WebApps, or a joint TF.

4. What should happen to User Context? Very difficult to parse a majority decision, again due to the matrix table. Looks like it's either PF or CSS, or a joint TF.

5. What should happen to the work that does not not fit in Events or User Context. Somewhat difficult to parse a majority decision, again due to the matrix table. Looks like it's either PF or recharter.

It seems to me like the problem with the survey is the question format (yes, no, prefer, prefer not, other) rather than the questions themselves. I don't expect you'll get more understandable results from the next survey.

By the time I finish reading the sub-level implications of each choice combination, I'm no longer certain which combination I prefer, or even if there is a combination that is desirable. Given the complexities of the combined choices, I think the results may be equally difficult to understand.

So we tried to assemble all the known permutations of viable options so they could be compared / contrasted to to each other as a whole, rather than just considering individual actions. We knew that resulted in a complex survey and did our best to mitigate that.
