Can a Techie Ever Understand a Customer?
At the recent ProductCamp in Austin, I heard a well-respected researcher make the following comment: ‘Techies will never understand customers.' That's quite a statement. And it's false. I used to run a tech company. We employed 48 techies, so I guess I can qualify as knowing a bit how they think. As they began doing their work as project managers, programmers, and systems designers, I heard them frequently say: "Customers are stupid. They tell me what they want, and then when I give it to them they don't want it."

What Is WRONG With Web 2.0
The Internet is a global network of computers that communicate with each other using a number of different protocols where each one was designed with a different purpose in mind. The most well-known is the one used by the World Wide Web called the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP.)

How to Effectively Manage Remote Workteams
As an outsourcing company, we work with offshore workteams as a matter of course. The two most pressing challenges we continually face are those of managing and measuring the outsourcing performance of our remote workteam, and facilitating communication between local co-workers and the remote workteam as they collaborate on projects. With most local workteams, outsourcing managers can set a series of milestones and checkpoints, and manage to those deliverables. However, when outsourcing to a remote workteam, this approach becomes problematic due to the distance and lack of regular workteam visibility. Here are a few of the things we believe are keys to successfully maximizing outsourcing workteam relationships:
The Marketing MYTH Of Modularity
The division of business software into separate "modules" is an arbitrary concept designed to create a false impression. It allows software suppliers to charge us different fees based on the features we want even though all the features are normally present and just the ones we haven't paid for are disabled. It also leads us to the mistaken belief that software is more robust and flexible when it's developed in a "modular" fashion.
The ADVANTAGE Of Object Oriented Software
We've probably heard of object-oriented software and the advantages it provides over other methods of software development. However unless we've done some computer programming we're probably none the wiser about its advantages or even what it is. And if we've done some programming we may still wonder whether object-orientation provides any advantages at all or simply makes things more complex.
