This Week Has Been Challenging!
This week has been Challenging and Rewarding
The Platform is coming to LIFE!
Dashboard has gone from mock-up to development
Had a Discussion during the week with an individual that watched the dashboard video (https://lnkd.in/g_t6zaT ) from last week
The conversation went well, and he provided some great feedback and improvements. That all have been documented for future releases (I will share our conversation in an upcoming post)
Platform Lesson #1 from the week
Functionality is critical
And this is something I know, but this week the details got the best of me
I was too focused on getting three aspects of the platform completed and I lost sight of the end result
Providing automation and functionality for you.? I hate when I lose focus on the end result.? My passion and perfectionism got the best of me!
Which leads me down the road of tangents.? Can you say SQUIRREL!!!!
Platform Lesson #2 from the week
Never lose sight of your why
From the beginning of this journey, I have been focused on providing value
If myself and our team cannot provide this to you then we have failed
This is what drives me every single day.? I love the challenge!
What is driving you on your journey? Would love to hear from you!
I look forward to connecting with you next week!
Cheers!
I Put Everything I Had Into It
I put everything I had into it
Just could not imagine it would turn out this way
How can you go from ?zero? to a functional mock-up in a week?
That is what I was asking our developers this week about the dashboard project
They had a simple response that was astonishing? We believe in your vision!
As I am writing this I am still blown away!
The conversation that hit home this week for me was with our lead developer and myself
The topic was on our launch date and functionality
He tells me that we are on schedule to have beta testers at the beginning of February
He then dropped the bomb on me?The platform will not be perfect and will not have all the functionality you want
My response?. ?WHY??
He calmly told me ?The platform will be evolving daily for the next 3 to 6 months.?
I had one thing on my mind?..VALUE?.I asked
How do we provide value to our users if all functions are not available for beta testing?
His answer was direct and to the point ?Features we have developed for beta testing will give users back 3 to 4 hours daily by using the platform for their due diligence.?
I then added, ?Our number one goal is to automate as much of the due diligence process for our users as possible, and ensure the data we provide is accurate and timely.?
What a great conversation and connection we had.? It is great to work with a team that shares your vision and values!
Every day I know more and more I have made the right decision to develop the platform
When have you taken on a large project what have been some of the struggles you have gone through?
