Talk with the End User

I’ve wanted to do cartoons for a while. I hear stories about this one all too often.


Remember: talk with (not to) the end user. It will make all the difference.

How about designing the program along with the customer? That ensures that any deviations from pecification is corrected soonest.

Hey Sterling – what did you use to create your cartoon and can we expect more of them from you in the near future? 😉

We received 169 responses to our 3-day poll, “What should we do over our next 100 days?” I’ll recap once we post the results. Sneak preview: it’s worth repeating.

@Catherine. Brilliant. I love it.

@Carol. Having the customer give you input makes a huge difference. I agree.

@Andy K. I used an old school program, MS Paint. I have one more already made and a few others drafted. You’ll see them on roughly a weekly basis.

“The end user will take what we give them and like it! They just need to do their work and stop whining! Meanwhile I need to go cut their training budget and stop the upgrade of their computer equipment.”

The gist of countless meetings over the years. Next on the agenda: the morale problem.
