At Praized,we are at

phase #2 now!

More seriously...

1. How do you go from an idea,

2. To a product...

3. To a business?

The only thing certain...

Is uncertainty!

Go for agility

Core product/market direction

Technology choices for speed

Dev Teamintelligence and autonomy

Dev Teamintelligence and autonomy

Choose your metaphor wiselyChoose your metaphor wisely

Technology choices for speed● Anti Not Invented Here Syndrome (re-use is king)

● Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) for servers● Hosted at Amazon EC2 + Liquid Web● Ruby On Rails for platform / API● MySQL + Sphinx for search● WordPress and PHP for distributed views● jQuery + CSS framework (more from Frank later)● TRAC for subversion + tickets + wiki

Sea dogs / dev team● Colin Surprenant – Lead Engineer● Marc-André Gagnon – Platform/API developer● Stéphane Daury – Wordpress + PHP guru● François Lafortune – Front-end developer● Many freelancers from Montréal (Station C)++● And a secret zombie army (more on that later)

● Interview process is a few weeks... write some code, close some tickets, ask good questions.

The secret zombie armyOpen Source developers from all over the world!

No Quarters!No Quarters!● Architecture is art/science, keep right balance● Have test to cover at least 80% of the codebase● Automated deploy, FTW!● Ship at least once per week, twice sometimes● Milestones, tickets, priorities, review each week● Standup meeting every morning● Almost no meetings. Wiki pages, BRD,

frankendoc, white boards, giant post-it

Open Standards for uplift● A few choices : Microformats, OAuth, OpenWeb● Timing, community, maturity (almost)● Make sure your stuff is easy/documented● Open means letting a little bit go● Open means being in many places

(Google Code, WordPress.org)● Open also mean being out there (like tonight)● Open mean you can start now!
