My first thought was, if > reflection is important, why do I need an excuse to take time to do it? This was my point... Rituals are nice, and you can argue that 'low tech' can force you to think about what you are doing more than 'high tech/ behind the scenes' processes. But the right answer is often that you should not use 'the need for reflection' (for example) as a reason to not do things better/faster. If they are, in fact, better and faster! -Steve -- Steve Berczuk | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.berczuk.com SCM Patterns: Effective Teamwork, Practical Integration www.scmpatterns.com To Post a message, send it to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ad-free courtesy of objectmentor.com Yahoo!
