I spent some time building an internal tool for rapid testing during our implementations at the time. Maybe two weeks to initial concept, 3 months later it was driving a surge in our team profitability. A decade later the idea has spawned at least three separate companies, a couple of patents (not necessarily in love with that), and an evolution of that idea is how I feed my family. Internal tools can be just another tool that makes people's lives easier. They can be an albatross when they become someone's little fiefdom, or they can become Slack. You never know where they can go, but the bigger questions before I go building my own: Is there anything that already gets me close? Usually Can we change how we're doing things to better fit something that exists?
