We’ve decided to take a break from doing projects to focus on our process. We would like to really streamline our operation. We’ve been popping out projects and things have been very interesting  but we would like to introduce more efficiency.

Our goals are:

 

  • Complete my transition from Lead Developer to Architect
  • Make it easy for me to be hands of on projects and empower our team to implement projects quicker and more efficiently
  • Build tools to make development process easier
  • Create Revision process to steamline process of getting change requests to developers
  • Setup testing & QA process for projects
  • Create process to make it easier for Client Advisors to track and get updates on projects
Some of the ideas that we have for the next 6 weeks are
  • Begin discussion with Client Advisors on tools that they need to make communication and work with us easier
  • Work with developers to create a process to simplify transfer of requirements
  • Begin work with Margo on building branding identity for osCandy, Positive Sum and Beecoop
  • Travel to Moldova to spend time with developers to make tools to make process of site building easier (for developers and client advisors – different tools)
Also during this period we intend on finishing all projects that we have outstanding. This will allow us to start September off a clean slate. No more old projects, everything starting september will be clean and new.
Also, we’re looking for a loft. We would like it to be a place were both Josh and I can live. Our main goal is to allow developers, designers, client advisors and project managers to drop in at any time and chill out and get some work done. I’d love to be able to bring people together in this space. I think it will be a great place for josh and I to focus on what we have ahead of us. Beecoop is our future and I’d love to be able to start working on it as soon as possible.
So well that’s it. Lots of work ahead of us. I think it’s going to be fun :)
