It's great to hear from you. I hope you are well. I agree with you 100% about the challenge of hiring people who can adopt the process and move it forward. We are on the same page. Thank you making the time to comment. -Steve Your comment made my day, Chris. I remember you from the AYE session, which was a lot of fun. It’s great to hear from you. I hope you are well.

No body wants to be a part of the big machine 'process'. Many big companies have 'process', 'process' as in paper work, overhead, and being handed requirements while you work in a cubical. I think in order to have a great development process you need great people. Great people who are disciplined enough to adopt and innovate the process. We have a great process where I work, but it came from hiring great people. People who bought into the process and were\are always looking for ways to improve it. The toughest challenge we have is hiring people who can adopt the process and move the process forward. P.S. I met you at AYE last year and thought you were great! I was in on your little marbles experiment. You were the highlight of the conference for me. I couldn’t agree with you more Steve. No body wants to be a part of the big machine ‘process’.
