Where is the open source program or initiative located within the organization? If the effort is informal, answer based on or who the primary organizers report to. --40% said Software Engineering and Development. 39% said IT or Office of the CTO. This variable wasn't strongly predictive of anything else.

What are the ways your open source program quantifies success? (Check all that apply) --Make this about the top three metrics? --57% said "open source culture within the company", which I still don't think is a real metric.

What are the top three challenges your open source program faces? (Choose three) --We didn't create a chart using this data, so it couldn't have been that useful.

Has the open source program had a specific impact on your company's DevOps practices or software architecture? --63% said yes. --Either get rid of it or change so it asks about a "positive impact".

Where will the open source program or initiative be located within the organization? If the effort is informal, answer based on who the primary organizers will report to. --Included in the list above, but also don't ask it of the people who have plans to create a program.

What are the top three ways your open source program will quantify success? (Choose three) --Make this about the top three metrics?

How often does your average application development team release code into production? --This data wasn't that useful -- there was little correlation with other data.

What is the average time between major product releases? --This data wasn't that useful -- there was little correlation with other data.

What kinds of tools does your company use to manage open source code repositories? (Check all that apply) --While interesting, not as timely as before.

Wrote this before talking to Chris last week.

Topline recommendation is to get rid of the DevOps and dev velocity metrics questions.
