It’s All About the People Stupid

I remember watching a talk news show after Bill Clinton defeated the first George Bush in 1992. It was James Carville a political pundit announcing to the media why George Bush had lost the 1992 election so badly to Bill Clinton. He said "It's the economy stupid".

That quote sticks with me on the eve of our team's launch of a great new purposeful and playful product that they have developed -- Ript™.

As with any great product, there have been several things that make it special -- the idea, our product owner, the process, etc. The most important to me though is the Team.

Not at my present company but at some places I have been that don't grok technology I have had to remind execs of a similar idea to what James Carville said to the media in 1992 -- that is -- "It's All About the People Stupid". This would seem obvious but to some its not.

I have found throughout my career in technology that it is one of the core truths about Software Development and Information Technology. It is truly all about the people.

Please check out my team members blogs listed here because they have some great stories to tell about this fantastic new product.
