The Linux Foundation has released its first-ever “Collaborative Development Trends Report,” which shares the results of a survey of close to 700 software developers and business managers about their participation and investments in collaborative development practices.

The report finds that companies are increasing collaborative development and view it as essential to success. Developers, too, are benefiting from this trend.
