On down the road...

Posted by: Ryan Shriver on 10/04/2008
I’m off to Belgium tomorrow for 11 days coaching two teams new to Agile. The last time I was in Belgium was in the summer of 1997, during the midst of a life-changing tour of western Europe following a band across the continent. Aside from the client work, I’m looking forward to some of the best beer in the world and doing some sight seeing. I’m also hoping to wrap up my first article on Measurable Business Value during the trip. It’s the night before, I’m getting packed and listening to Steve Earle. I feel alright tonight...
