"I have worked in environments where reacting was the "normal" way to approach issues and being proactive was just a waste of time... *facepalm* The seemingly simple idea of changing the workplace culture from reactive to proactive was hard to pitch, let alone implement on my own. 18 months ago, I knew there was a better way of doing things and I was determined to find something. I had been watching developers implement Agile Development processes with great envy and I was starting to see concepts that would have great outcomes if adopted in a traditional operations environment.
