the leaflet inserted with my morning paper caught my eyes: an announcement of a missing cat, a reward of 5000 taka, a picture and description of the sweet little black cat so sorely missed by a child. my mind went back to 2004 when me, jana and espen had started playing with the idea of a social media for local communities: the case of a missing cat was something we used to explain our vision for how social...
we just finished a great evening with agile talk by stephen forte, chief strategy officer at telerik and on the board of the scrum alliance here at the somewhere in... office. hasan (our head of technology) and mehfuz (steve´s colleague at telerik) had invited a small audience of bobs from somewhere in... and several other companies to learn more about agile practices, and everyone got much more...

this post is NOT a film review..., it presents a new model for successful outsourcing of IT services. it is targeting you who own, run or lead a company or team that needs to explore the cost-benefit of outsourcing. i am just using the wonderful film "outsourced" as the story line, if you haven´t yet seen it, get it, roll yourself up in the sofa with plenty of cushions, a good cup of masala...
