The year is almost done so I'd thought it would be a good time for a short retrospective into what I blogged here. The 13  posts below are the ones  I liked best this year. Turns out these posts touch on a lot of different subjects: requirement, software management, agile development, architecture, SOA and programming.

• Use Cases vs. User Stories

• Think Hollistically
• Architecture - It is always a tradeoff
