Dog in the Fog

Today, Krakow was fogged in. I mean completely. It was so bad, the airport was closed all day. All flights in and out seemed to be canceled. What a travel nightmare. The hope was that the fog would lift and magically planes would appear to take us home tomorrow.


I met with a group to discuss their interests and needs with respect to a new methodology. They had been to the Openview Partners conference and heard a case study, related to it as that the host company had had the same problems that they did and managed to successfully over come them with the methodology – pretty compelling. There problems were inability to deliver releases on time, inability to estimate well enough, and inability to meet business expectations.

The hope is that we can find some way to translate what we know into a language that they can use – their team is not strong on English and no one is apparently doing even generic training in Polish.

Had dinner at the Calvary off the market square. They were empty and though the food did not seem to be as good as I remember it last time, it certainly was not bad. Had a faux English Polish beer – ‘dog in the fog’
