As we proceed in the trenches through requirements deep dives on various projects, it’s easy to forget where we are in the universe of change. The world around is proceeding with all kinds of new technology, thought processes and methods to make sense of what we are doing as human beings. In a narrower realm, the sea change of business and the technology that services it is something that is almost impossible to keep up with.
Have no fear! I have taken the liberty to gather a few links for you to peruse that will help with some basic questions. I thought about doing a book/post report on each as a synopsis, in honor of school just starting, but I think it’s better to let you each do your own reading and come to your own conclusions for discussion (also in honor of school just starting).
So….enjoy!
