Also internal company politics. What would fix much of this, for many projects, is a very experienced product person with final say over every feature, reporting directly to the CEO / board, and outranking everyone else in terms of decision making.
- hutzlibu 6y agoSure, having skilled people with the right to make decisions solves almost everything. But who decides who is skilled enough? Then we are quickly in the realm of politics ..
- utrechtsouth 6y ago> But who decides who is skilled enough? Trial and error using a free market place.
- hutzlibu 6y agoWhen we are talking about centralized government institutions - then we kind of left the free market place.
- utrechtsouth 6y agoWell, this thread gives an example of a private initiative that provides a better alternative. :)
- hutzlibu 6y agoAnd the mandatory governments solution trying to block it.
- utrechtsouth 6y agoIt's not mandatory. Actually it's likely illegal.
- hutzlibu 6y agoI just read the twitter post. And from there it sounded like the app is mandatory, because everyone in school had to use them and it was the only solution - and a bad one. So parents made a better on on their own - client - but they still need the sever - so the government contractors change the server-client communication to block the competition. So it is in effect government mandatory at the moment. And pretty stupid and yes - hopefully illegal.
- peteretep 6y agoSomeone skilled is less important than someone who’s empowered. These projects fail because of SVPs and CXOs who get to bully their favourite features and requirements as priorities rather than having someone taking a holistic view of the roadmap.
- danjac 6y agoSure, but people like that are expensive and make too much trouble. How about we give you a 23-year old recent grad instead?
