Managerial Accounting: Beginning of Course Learning Journal

Just got back from Hawaii, and now I'm starting another class. This one is managerial accounting. From what I've seen so far, it looks like this course will focus on tracking internal costs associated with business planning. I'm looking forward to this course because I'd like to gain some objectivity on the cost of my design and development methods. Perhaps I'll learn better how to communicate the benefits of agile software development to managers.
