Is Your Dream Team Actually a Nightmare? | Tinder on Customers

The Big Themes:



A project leader: Who has enough political
capital to see the effort through to the end – and people who
are culturally aligned with them.


Projects with poor technology succeed because of great
teams: Projects with great technology fail because of
bad ones. You choose which one.


An experienced technical person: One who’s
deeply and intimately familiar with the product idiosyncrasies
and pitfalls – and is willing to take that chance.


Commitment: Project team members who can stay
throughout the duration of the project – both from the systems
integrator side and the customer side.



 


The Big Quotes:


“I'm from Chicago. You always think of Michael Jordan, but
really, and truly that was Phil Jackson that I would call the
project leader.”
