- Entering a food order into the POS is remarkably familiar to creating a ticket in Pivotal Tracker.
- Showing a customer a food menu is just like showing a client your company’s portfolio page.
- Letting a customer design their own pizza is great, but limit them to 5 or 6 toppings. When managing software, don’t let more features than you can test well roll out in a week
- If you find a bug in the software, you’d better let the client know you are going to fix it. If you find a bug in a customer’s beer, just start pouring a new one.
- I don’t think you can effectively project manage while you are “WFH”. You definitely can’t pour beer from home either.
- The first round of drinks is your beta, the appetizer is the soft-launch, the full meal is the production launch, and the dessert is a contract renewal.
- Showing a customer the kitchen is great, if you have a nice kitchen. Showing a client your office is great, if you have a nice office.
- If you use Pair Programming, don’t use that as a selling point in a project plan. If you pair pour beer, don’t do that again ever.
- Using the final product after launch is just like having your “shift” beer.
- You can sample the beer and call it user testing.
