If we learned anything from Ian Capstick’s talk at TeamCamp last week  (and we learned a lot) it was this:  to clearly communicate the value of your service or idea you need to have:

• A Strategy
• Objectives
• Tactics, and
• Goals

Without these things you won’t know where you’re going, why your going there, how your going to get there, or when you’ve arrived.

While it sounds like common sense, having a plan is often neglected, especially by technology-focused teams. In Ian’s words “you need to have a planning meeting where no one speaks technology:  i.e. no ‘one’s and zeros’ allowed”.

This weeks TeamCamp meeting will be focused on planning for the Twegather project.

We’ve made terrific progress on Twegather and things are really starting to heat up.  Now we need a plan – a “road map” if you will – to take the Twegather concept and turn it into the big opportunity that we believe it represents.

I’m pleased to announce that Vicki Schmitt will be leading this discussion. We’re thrilled that Vicki has selected Twegather as her new venture project for the Queens Executive MBA program. Vicki has tremendous business, project management, IT and financial experience. She will help us to develop the road map that we will use to guide the development Twegather with a market-based focus.

Anyone is welcome to join in this discussion.

Where: The Code Factory, 246 Queen Street, 2nd floor (ring the buzzer)
