"How soon they grow up." It seems like just yesterday, rather than nearly a decade ago, that we began introducing managers and developers to Agile Methodologies through our consulting engagements and seminars. We tip our hat to Agile's ten year anniversary in this month's Insight, by sharing how Agile is currently being mainstreamed and integrated, along with suggestions to make your Agile testing more effective. Our case study tells a story of Agile-hybridization in the successful blending of Agile and Waterfall. Healthwise, we give a nod to road warriors, who combat traffic in our congested region, and offer some ways to make your ride more pleasant and productive.

At Software Consortium, we are quickly approaching our 20th year of assisting clients with their long- and short-term business and project needs. We are well known for our "just enough" approach and our focus on competency--individually and collectively. We look forward to the opportunity to help you attain greater leverage on your projects and results in 2011.
