Welcome to my blog!
This is an informal blog where you can find helpful tips. I am a systems analyst so some tips are for business processes and business management. I have also lead various teams of developers, engineers, and other specialists so you will find some project management blogs here. Some blogs on Agile project management, some on team management and motivation. Basic and advanced software techniques also. The majority of the blog entries will be about methods to improve productivity. Feel free to stay a while and have a read, and get to know more about me and my business!
