Dude, it's just us programmers here - no managers or executives. You don't
need to replace one big buzzword with several little ones.

I'l go first. The last company I worked for, their BIGGEST PROBLEM was lack
of automated testing. So I used Ruby (doot-too-too! to the rescue!) to
install a web site that hosted acceptance tests. It was better than nothing,
and it stabilized their process. Their manual testers stopped getting random
crashes in every other daily build.

Now, what is the ACTUAL PROBLEM - not the buzzwords used to promote
extravagent solutions...
