intro

I work for a large insurance company in the UK. It is not the largest and definitely not globally known, but it has seized it's opportunities when it can to produce great e-commerce solutions. I started with the company about eighteen months ago now. I have ten years software development experience which has taken me from working for a large airline through the dot com bubble (and out the other side) into local government to a brief stint in an on line auction house (not Ebay). Throughout this time I have seen software done well and done very badly.
We inherited a way of working and code base from a group of external consultants. They had little structure in what they did and the project was prone to issues.
I intend this to be a record of our adventures in agile development and a record of the challenges and changes facing the group of people I work with as we try and innovate and deliver great software.
