The “Design by Committee” Straw Man
- adolph 16y agoThe classic counterpoint to the author is a fun video from Microsoft about Microsoft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeXAcwriid0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeXAcwriid0&feature=relat... The author is speaking to a particular definition of "design by committee." The article doesn't address the extrinsic constraints placed on a particular project by people with a place at the table but who don't have any responsibility for the success of the project.
- SachaG 16y agoWait, I'm confused, are you speaking about my article, which is itself a counterpoint, or the original article? Whatever the case, I completely agree that a real discussion of design by committee should include managing all the different types of shareholders, and not just the "dumb client's wife" type.
