We have all read and heard (and largely ignored) the disclaimer that resides in the fine print at the bottom of mutual fund ads, or is quickly whisked past us at the end of a 30 second radio-spot: “Please remember that past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.” Certainly valid for mutual funds these days, it is a disclaimer that is also applicable for software companies.

• What People are Saying

  Jim is simply one of the smartest and most knowledgeable software development professionals I have ever met. His vast knowledge of the discipline is both leavened and enhanced by his acute awareness of and sensitivity to “the real world” of what actually occurs with real developers in actual practice. Jim is also a warm, open, honest person – rare gifts and an asset in any consultant. — Bonar Harris
