What is your DITA Quotient (D.Q.)?
The idea behind the DITA Quotient is a rough but quantitative numerical estimate of the applicabilty of DITA to your content. You simply answer ten questions and get an estimate of the value of DITA for your organization.
DITA News will publish the average numbers for everyone filling in the questionnaire, so you will be able to compare yourself to others. And we will track the average answers for the ten questions over time, to see how DITA is being adopted and how its various capabilities are being utilized.
Below is the questionnaire content. The questionnaire is anonymous. No information about your organization is collected.
To estimate your D.Q., fill in the online form at DITA News.
