Happy Hogmanay

For those of you not reading this weblog in Scottish, “Happy New Year’s Eve”. As ever the best party is in Edinburgh and as I write this around noon PST, it ought to be in full swing back home. The Scots enjoy Hogmanay and New Year’s Day so much - typically staying up until the wee hours have started elementary school - that 2nd of January is a holiday. So I’m guessing that people back home don’t get back to work until Tuesday. Lucky them!

If your New Year’s resolution is to “go agile in 2004” then I would urge you to remember that management is a necessary and vital part of that process. When looking for a management approach for agile development, I urge you to consider the wisdom and humor of Mike Myers and remember that “If it is not Scottish it’s crap” Happy New Year!
