This report contains a summary of the results from a questionnaire administered to participants in the Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG) Workshop held in Tysons Corner, Virginia, in April of 1992. The purpose of the questionnaire was twofold. (1) to ask the participants for their judgments about the quality of the week-long event, and (2) to begin collecting information comparing the experiences of existing SEPGs. The participants reported a generally high degree of satisfaction with the content and conduct of the event. Although descriptions about SEPG characteristics and activities apply only to the organizations whose representatives attended the workshop, our findings suggest recent and rapid growth in the SEPG community. Of the 169 responding participants, 72 percent stated that their organizations have SEPGs, and over three-quarters of the SEPGs have been established since 1990.
