Because we went through the program and can see how it's going to 
benefit us. It's not automatically going to make things better. 
We have to do the work. But the point is, now we know how to do 
the work, whereas before we were just throwing things at the wall 
to see what stuck.

People around here frequently complain about bad management. 
Through the IVY program we, all of us non-managers, learned an 
approach to management that makes sense to us. It's going to 
change the way we do things, and we're all confident the change 
will be for the better.

Ucora's workflow is built around IVY as well. Saeed shared with 
us some of the ways they use it so that we could better see how 
we can employ it. He's also made himself available to help us as 
we go along. They're serious about it, and so are we.

You'll hear more about it before and during DConf. After, I 
expect it will become part of the common lexicon in the D 
community.
