A Dose of Process

Most of us from the software industry who get a daily dose of exposure to processes of mature organizations : will also bring the work experience in all their other activities. So yes we did a great trip on 14 Apr ! Well did we do well, did we not, is there a learning to carry forward, are we a learning, and continuously maturing group or are we always thinking on our feet.

The answer to some these questions did get addressed in an After Action Review of the 14 Apr Trip (on 21 Apr 2007 at 9AM at IndiraNagar Park) and here are some of the highlights of the discussion.
