How often have we been on a medium to large software development project where the communications easily got lost in the frenzy? Even with processes and documentation to support it, my day job company is still challenged to find ways to improve communications. Maybe we can learn from Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., aircraft designers, who "deployed collaboration software [that] acts as a repository for models, simulations, and documentation surrounding the helicopter. The engineers each upload 10 to 40 new objects a day, and engineers, managers, and customers can log on through an Internet connection to work on the design or merely check on its progress."

December 10 finally arrived and it was time for me to put on my blue Christmas Santa hat and play Secret Santa, Hannukah Harriet, Pagan Patty, Kwanzaa Keisha, or NOTA Nancy. Hope the receiver enjoys her surprise.
