Supplier View mid-June update
June 14th, 2008 | by David |I was in Bryan, TX today meeting with Downtown Cartel. We caught up on the development status, clarified on some use cases and requirements , and sat down for a good dinner at Square One Bistro. One of the side benefits of working with smart guys who you can actually socialize with is good conversation on everything from the value of a playoff system in college football to the coolness of a Wii to the adoption of social media.
At the end of our meet-up we mapped out a timeline for the next couple of weeks. Part of this is that Monday I expect I’ll be working on a live site and maybe a week or so after that invite a few people for a private beta.
Supplier View will always be about a very iterative process on design, development and function. What is released on private beta day 1 will not be what the public sees on launch day 1. What the public sees on launch day 1 will not be what the public sees on launch day + 365. Rapid, meaningful iteration while meeting customer needs all the time will be the standard.
Haven’t filled out the private beta interest form, why not?
