I recently got back from a retreat/pilgrimage to Rome. It was good to have a structure and space to focus and reflect on bigger issues than bugs and computers. Also it was good to have some sunshine 
Back in wet (very wet) Bracknell I have been doing little bits at work as waiting for my team to finish their current work before embarking on a next three week sprint. So I have been using the space to work out how things could and should change from a development process at work – effectively I am starting out on the brown bag sessions – or the formation of them for work
It may be hard, but I believe that people need (and crave ?) change, otherwise how can we grow, I know I don’t have all the answers but the information is out they, thanks to all those who are giving to the community. Something that we should all aspire to.
Thoughts and best practices, anyone?
first thought is not to use that horrible phrase ‘best practices’
and use the much better one of “it depends”
and no, many people are scared of change, most probably like stability and routine
good luck
I was trying to think of some stability and routine that actually didn’t have change in it, or is it just me that I see change (or the potential for change) in every thing?
Good point about best practices – I totally agree with the Alt.NET understanding of that there are many ways to do things, and one will fit for you
