5 Team States:

  • Collocated - Team report to the same leader, and sits together in the same area where incidental communication can heppen
  • Distributed - Groups of people who make up the team are collocated in different locations
  • Dispersed - Individuals from the team are in different locations
  • Matrixed - Team members are collocated, but report to different managers who may or may not be aligned with the systems vision
  • Vendorized - The delivery unit is made up of people from both internal and external sources (i.e., team is reliant on a vendor as part of being able to deliver)

As you move further away from the team being a single, coherent, collocated unit, you should be decreasing the amount of time between integrated builds of working software.

Talk at SXSWi by Joel Trammell.

Evolving from founder to great CEO

Joel Trammell, ex-CEO of NetQOS

CEO: command, management, leadership

  • management is power granted by your position
  • leadership is power granted freely because of a follower’s perception of your credibility, competence and caring.

What Has Eric Ries Learned Since 2011?

What Has Eric Ries Learned Since 2011?

Interview at SXSW Interactive 2015. Interviewer: Ted Greenwald from the Wall Street Journal.

Can you summarize the Lean Startup for those who aren't familiar

  • No rigorous, longitudinal study to determine whether Lean Startup is true or not, but he’s hoping there will be.
  • A startup is just anything new being created under conditions of extreme uncertainty.
  • Use science and not astrology to figure out what’s supposed to happen. That's what is in the book.
  • A pivot is just a change in strategy w/o a change in vision.
