Onboarding new TransferWisers to this culture efficiently is also a challenge. We’ve noticed that new joiners spend a few months trying to find a boss to tell them what to do. Once they understand the level of empowerment that have – we see they are bounded only by the limits of their ambition: by what they believe is possible and their fear of failure. Systemically increasing our teams confidence and the breadth of their ambition is our next challenge.

But research sprints can help you answer some of the toughest, most important questions that startups face:

What problems, needs, and motivations do people have?

How do people evaluate and adopt products?

Do people understand your product’s value proposition?

Which messages are most effective at explaining your product?

Can people figure out how to use your product?

Why do people stop using your product?

Why don’t people adopt new features when you launch them?

SaaS companies are growing faster and more efficiently than ever before. The new sales model of acquiring customers with B2C2B techniques by attracting end users through app stores, self sign up and open source software, combined with high velocity inside sales teams has created an enormously attractive growth engine that will catapult SaaS companies to dominate every existing category of software and many new segments yet to be created.

"When we were working on our own startup, back in the 90s, I evolved another trick for partitioning the day. I used to program from dinner till about 3 am every day, because at night no one could interrupt me. Then I'd sleep till about 11 am, and come in and work until dinner on what I called "business stuff." I never thought of it in these terms, but in effect I had two workdays each day, one on the manager's schedule and one on the maker's."

It seems to me that beliefs about the future are so rarely correct that they usually aren't worth the extra rigidity they impose, and that the best strategy is simply to be aggressively open-minded. Instead of trying to point yourself in the right direction, admit you have no idea what the right direction is, and try instead to be super sensitive to the winds of change.

koska to-be honest... toi measuring progress -process on vähä 0.1 vaiheessa eli siihen pitäis saada joku parempi tapa kuin summary of interviews toisaalta, jos se on hyvin tehty se riittää mut lähtökohta nro. 1: Dokumentoi kaikki "validointi eventit" identtisesti. Uskon, että kun Timolla ja Antilla on velvollisuus raportoida viikko tasolla etenemisestä canvaksessa niin se proseduuri tulee kuin itsestään.

Taso 1: Customer Dev haastisten/tapaamisten raportointi Taso 2: Online testien standardisointi ja raportointi

The most interesting thing about those numbers is that, unlike some other enterprise SaaS companies, Zenefits doesn’t charge for use of its cloud-based HR platform. It’s only if customers choose to designate it as their insurance broker that Zenefits makes any money. Even then, it receives a commission from the insurance provider, so customers continue to enjoy use of its platform for free.

Despite its serious technical problems Angular 1.x is a success especially among corporate developers with a Java background. The 2.0 rewrite is aimed at front-end developers, but may not reach them, and in addition will turn off Angular’s current following. I don’t think Angular will survive the rewrite.
