Abstract

Delivering valuable software frequently is the name of the game. Your customer wants and needs solutions as quickly as you can deliver them. Solutions delivered late are less valuable than solutions delivered early. Customers want and need you to create valuable opportunities for them today, not tomorrow. Customers want and need you to solve their costly problems today, not tomorrow. Vignettes from leaders at Oracle, Amazon, and Nokia illustrate the objective, the challenges, and solutions relative to this principle. The most effective way to satisfy customers with valuable software sooner rather than later is to bring them along on the journey through the process of software demonstrations, or demos. Demos provide the opportunity for developers and customers to learn together and to co-create. Honest feedback that serves the objective of the project is imperative to progress. Acknowledging all feedback is imperative to maintaining trust. Honest and constructive feedback that is addressed by the development team generates progress toward the goal of delivering working software frequently.
