The following is a highlight of a competitive analysis I did earlier this year when I was involved in designing software that would allow remote research teams to work together. While software is still a long way from replacing all in-person collaboration it's becoming easier for remote or mobile workers to stay productive and communicative with their team. Certainly the tools we have available today are a vast improvement over what I used when I first tried telecommuting 12 years ago!

Many folks ask about Agile project planning and total cost. As our internal project managers wrestle with this, there are a lot of questions.

We Value:

Validated Data over Expert Opinion

Quality of Data over Ease of Data Collection

Complete Workflows over Long Feature Lists

Achieving Results over Writing Reports

Collaborative Design over Design by Referendum or Design by Fiat

Ease of Use over Ease of Coding

Well-designed Critical and Common Workflows over Complete Coverage of Every Possible Workflow

If you are creating something for someone else, hopefully a paying client, there is a certain set of rules and protocols that you communicate with in terms of feedback, revisions, deadlines and deliverable. Some designers have created a custom process that they try and communicate with their client regarding expectations and some designers just shoot from the hip and hope things go smoothly.

YOU CAN ONLY WORK FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU LIKE.
