Inconsistent User Design

Over the past week, I’ve had two experiences with applications implemented across a variety of platforms with completely different User Experiences – I can hold one up against the other and see the difference. Different features, different access points, etc, etc. Even worse, I can look at these experiences across a variety of devices and platforms and see how they are completely different in their implementation as well. If you are building a solution across a variety of platforms and devices always remember; Consistency is key – don’t limit the user to their device/platform of choice, enable it. Feature parity is

People vs Process Managers

People Managers worry about the people, the culture, the team, the what and the how of what they are delivering. Process Managers worry about how and when of what they are delivering, the methodology, the steps and the outcome. We are all one or the other, depending on the project sometimes we are both sometimes we flip between projects on which one we must be. But we are all predisposed to leaning to one side or the other.

Than you are more ready than most and need to keep going to make this happen.

But it doesn’t need to be that way and instead can, and should be built, on the mutual understanding that only together can the best outcome be achieved. As an example… You: That didn’t work how I had intended. Them: Yeah, we should figure out a way to make it better next time. You: Got Time? Them:

The New Corporate Headquarters

Between the time when I was on my own and now where I am on my own again was about the span of a little over two years. With my first company -I had servers everywhere, network equipment, firewalls, managing patches and software upgrades, performing much of this work myself, begging for help from friends where I needed it and always worrying that someday everything would break (and some days it did, horribly). Fast forward two years to my new company – I run everything from the cloud, the majority of which I can access from my phone.  The company goes where
