    ETI-Unplugged: Episode 52: Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and Fear of Failure

    Kumaran and Deepak discuss how the MVP concept, which has been around for a while, is being adopted by businesses. The executive leadership/board has a challenge understanding the MVP concept. There is a mindset issue. There is a misconception that a large project broken into small parts is the MVP, in fact it is a 'decomposed waterfall' . MVP is useful when the way forward isn't very well defined and limited exploration will provide the direction. Fear of failure that prevents people from adopting the MVP concept. MVP allows failure with minimum damage. MVP approach can be applied to any area of business.  #informationtechnology #enterprise #podcast #podcastepisode #audio #etiunplugged #mvp

    ETI-Unplugged: Episode 50: How to do - high visibility application launch?

    Kumaran and Deepak discuss how to do a high visibility application launch. What should the technology teams focus on? Kumaran suggest a 'zoom in' approach to find out what is important. For a large consumer facing application it is important to take care of not signed up users. How to control the feature explosion? The technology team needs to take into account the small things and not get confused by the big picture. 'zoom out' to find opportunities. When you are worried, 'zoom in' and execute.  #informationtechnology #enterprise #podcast #podcastepisode #audio #etiunplugged Follow us on:https://etiunplugged.in   https://fb.com/etiunpluggedhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/etiunplugged

  6. ETI-Unplugged: Episode 48: Open Source RPA tools - to use or not to use?

    ETI-Unplugged: Episode 48: Open Source RPA tools - to use or not to use?

    Kumaran, Gowtham and Deepak discuss why should or should not use an open source tool. Open source is not free in the enterprise context. Cost of supporting, updating and troubleshooting  the tool needs to be considered. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) implementation need to evaluated with a clear understanding of the benefits vs. cost. Kumaran shares an example calculation for return on investment (ROI). RPA tool can turn from a cost reduction tool to a profit generating tool. When you think of automation think of  three  factors  that you are trying to address 1. Toil  2. Complexity 3. Accuracy. There can be good reasons to go with open source - when you want to really take ownership. There has to be deep technical interest in understanding the code and contributing to it. Log4J has created a question mark on open source - where vulnerabilities are not found even though apparently it is visible to all.   #opensourcesoftware #RPA #rpatools #roboticprocessautomation #informationtechnology #enterprise #podcast #podcastepisode #audio #etiunplugged Follow us on:https://etiunplugged.in   https://fb.com/etiunpluggedhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/etiunplugged

  7. ETI-Unplugged: Episode 47: It's a Service …no it's a Product!

    ETI-Unplugged: Episode 47: It's a Service …no it's a Product!

    Jiffin, Kumarn and Deepak are challenged to find the differences between a software product and a software service. Jiffin shares his perspective as a Product Manager. How he transitioned from being a service owner to a product manager. Repeatability, reusability, profit margin are the words associated with a product. Kumaran takes an example of his  own application. Thinking from the user's and usability perspective can turn a feature into a "micro-product". Is SaaS (Software as a Service) a product? Increasingly it is difficult to differentiate between a service and a product. A gulab jamun analogy driven too far …. A product provides limited customisability, because it impacts the maintainability. Product mindset is important even for services. A software library is an example for a micro-product.  #productdevelopment #productmanagement  #informationtechnology #enterprise #podcast #podcastepisode #audio #etiunplugged Follow us on:https://etiunplugged.in   https://fb.com/etiunpluggedhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/etiunplugged

    ETI-Unplugged: Episode 46: Are you thinking about "Ops" while you "Dev" ?

    Kumaran, Deepak, Venkat and Nishanth discuss why operations should be considered while developing software. IASA cover operations under "IT Environment". If DevOps is done right then IT Ops should not an issue, however business ops is often ignored. In the true spirit of DevOps Kumaran has given the Ops responsibility to his Dev team. Developers added more features to the product they had to operate it. For small teams this is more practically feasible, for a large product or services company a lot more needs to be considered. The approach of designing the software changes when developers do operations. DevOps team in most large organisations means the automation team. Operations team needs to be engaged in the development phase. MVP approach should include important operations aspects instead of cutting them out for the need to achieve faster time to market. An operations user story should be added to all features. Operations folks are inherently defensive in their thinking and developers are more aggressive in their approach. #itoperations #devops #softwarearchitecture #sysadmin #informationtechnology #enterprise #podcast #podcastepisode #audio #etiunplugged Follow us on:https://etiunplugged.in   https://fb.com/etiunpluggedhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/etiunplugged
