GoNextWorld had yet another big meeting last night.
Most of the meetings that have the best outcomes are typically brainstorming, idea creating, or a big PIVOT. But this time it wasn't huge changes in our business plan, or change in direction that brought a smile to our faces, it was identifying optimizations that make our product focused, more efficient, and more focused. From our discussion last night, we re-framed our projects and set wheels in motion that:
- significantly reduced man power required per project since they are similar and simpler.
- decreased duration of projects
- Distributed the technical burden among programmers; increasing productivity
- Opened ourselves up to multiple platforms previously unreachable
- Created utilities to reach out to the businesses and make it ridiculously simple to use our services
These changes make me realize how important it is to do the best you can with your resources. When Steve Jobs became CEO of Apple again in the 90's, eliminated or changed the scope of half the projects that were going on at apple in an effort to focus vision, eliminate non-critical projects, and leverage their resources. I now have a better understanding for why this was so critical. He had his goals, removed projects that didn't lead directly to them, and used man-power and other resources gained by removing those projects to drive the important ones.
We know our end goal.
We know what projects are required to reach that goal.
The picture is clearer than ever.
