Here we are in 2009! How did we get here so fast!
For me, 2008 was a challenging but good year. I transitioned from a team that I built from the ground up over several years to a new team and role I knew nothing about. I had a goal--help the new team to transition from a disciplined, RUP-centric approach, to a more agile, collaboration-centric approach. I feel like we made great progress. There is still much to do, but we have implemented Scrum and are well on our way to becoming more agile in our requirements, testing, and build and release processes.
2009 should prove to be an interesting year. Things are a little crazy in the world right now and we all have our challenges. But, with challenge comes opportunity. I think the world has the potential to rise to the occasion.
I look forward to the challenges and opportunities of 2009!
