92% of People Would Recommend to others.

(And out of the 8% that wouldn’t, 95% of the reason was because they didn’t know it well enough to recommend it)

We asked all our Licensees....

Would you recommend PEAF to others?

These are ALL their responses gathered from four survey's (2020, 2015, 2012 and 2010)

Quotes are un-abridged, un-edited, un-filtered and therefore provide a true account of people's views, both positive and negative. Spelling mistakes and all.

2020

“ Yes - Although I do recommend PEAF there is a lack of recognition of the value of governance and delivery frameworks and even less interest in implementing them in a meaningful way. This does not reflect PEAF but a woeful lack of management competence in the UK. In addition the name recognition of PEAF by business leaders and stakeholders is low.
Specifically Like: I find it very valuable to have a reference architecture that I can refer to and can promote to interested stakeholders. The frameworks are coherent and comprehensive and the collateral that support them clear, concise and well structured.
