Startup Weekend Atlanta

Groups aren’t always talking to each other. They’re making the same decisions simultaneously, independently, and (gasp!) they’re reaching completely different conclusions. Synchronicity is lacking (and we’re still on Coldplay, so I don’t know if the Police is on the playlist.)  An intervention is called.  Andrew and Lance are summoned.

A product developer type (i.e., that appears to be his day job) steps in. “This is how it’s done where I work.” That can be offputting or threatening, but the motley groups assembled agree that is what is needed. So he will figure out who’s not talking to each other and make sure it happens, according to the nice flow chart he was presenting. There’s a little disagreement whether what was represented on the chart was actually happening for real or not, but there’s always room for improvement.

Whether it’s “grease,” (bless you Rich) or the more formal “product development” role, it’s good to make sure everyone’s on the same page, at least as much as is possible in this wacky environment. Time’s a-wasting.
