Good Process is hard

I guess this is not exactly rocket science but we were reminded today of the difficulties of creating and continuing to improve a good development process. A year ago we started an initiative to clarify our process framework. We started with enthusiasm and made some good progress in the early stages. Then at some point we dropped the ball and have been languishing for 6 months. That is not to say that we were slacking, we were busy doing important business value adding work. It just wasn't progressing our process improvements.

Hopefully we are back on track but we should learn the lesson and don't fall into that easy trap again.
