Getting Started

It feels a bit strange to kick off a blog, as if I had something to tell the world. What a strange idea.
On the other hand, when discussing agile software engineering practices with many people in my "network", I frequently see a "aha!" reaction. Things that look/sound straight forward or common sense at first sight, are not happening because a number of "only-human" aspects.

Getting into Agile is a paradigm shift that is harder to make than most people expect. I always compare it to the paradigm shift of going from procedural software development towards object oriented development. It all seems straight forward, but when you go through the motions of this change, man it hurts! All those little habits we've built for years, we all have to change them.

Well this blog will dance around this theme, hope you come join - and enjoy - the dance

Lieven
