Sessions @ BarcampJB

Barcamp is cool. Its way better than what i expected it to be.

Things were casual and the place was full of crazies. But underlying all that craziness was some serious stuff going on. The discussions were intense.

Everyone believes his/her idea is the next big thing, but it doesen't mean anything if you don't execute it properly.
Chak from foldees.com was talking about his start up journey and hit it spot on when he talked about managing expectations, like team members coming to meetings having to complete their assigned tasks and then not doing them...If people get used to being let off the hook for skiving assigned work, that's going to stuff up the company pretty soon. Absolutely crucial.

From idea stage to getting the prototype out. What's next?

Aaron from ezypzy.com shares on how releasing your web app early and more often will be the better product strategy than waiting for ALL the bells and whistles to be complete. Most often than not, conditions change and the best way to improve your product would be feedback from the people who actually use them. :)

On another note, BarcampJB is seriously crazy when its all fun and games. Learnt a new psychotic game and its called MAO. Don't bother checking it out on Google... don't think anyone would tell you or CAN tell you how its played.. hehe..

got to run... got more sessions to catch.. arghh.!!
