Inspiration in the Key

As much as we try to turn software development into a science, the truth is that it is a creative pursuit driven by people. Your people can be 100 times more productive when they are motivated and inspired than if they are depressed, angry, resentful, bitter or mopey. Your process must help get people into the flow of inspiration and you must do everything you can to prevent processes and practices that kill joy. Don’t let the team succumb to toil and drudgery! Creating quality software requires passion!
