“Pre-management” is a shortcut to efficiency that many software development companies don’t use. The key to pre-management is having a consistent process. Engineers always respond well to a process, and it sets your team up for success from the beginnin…lnkd.in/dUbzWZX9

Many tech issues come up because the engineer didn’t ask enough questions at the beginning. I’ve seen software development projects delayed and overbilled by 50% or more because of this omission. I’ve solved the issue by training my team in a consistent,…lnkd.in/drfx6xTJ

Don’t fall into “The IT paradox.” Here’s what I mean. The best IT is invisible. You only notice when something isn’t working. But paradoxically, you have to constantly be aware of changes that impact your IT. For example, when Google or another platform…lnkd.in/g6t_VXNS

Always challenge the status quo. A wellness company was dealing with frequent tech issues. Their IT provider told them these issues couldn’t be resolved. Then the company brought in SubcoDevs and we immediately fixed 3 of these “unsolvable” issues. Now…lnkd.in/gdHEKTut

The other day, an employee at Costco Wholesale told me they were out of Dad’s cookies. I don’t accept a “no” without further information, so I went to Customer Service. Within minutes, Costco had someone checking the warehouse. Soon an employee brought…lnkd.in/da2BDVaD

Did you ever look at a project at its midpoint and ask yourself, “What is that?” Sometimes a project can run away from you. A trivial detail becomes a pit that sucks up resources. Or a bad decision takes the project down a side path that you never intend…lnkd.in/gJs__Gqz

It's easy to forget that behind every IT project, there is a team of real human beings. These team members have unique strengths and vulnerabilities, and the more you know about these, the faster and more profitably you can get things done. For example,…lnkd.in/giwyz2Sg

What can you do if an IT project is not succeeding? There’s a fairly straightforward “rescue plan” for IT projects, but it’s not what you think. If the project didn’t start with a solid footing, you should go back and ask yourself “What would things loo…lnkd.in/gt75vzzX

What should you look for when you hire a team? I always start with three things. First, I want to know the strengths of the individuals on the team. But this is what everyone looks for, and it’s not enough by itself. Many people stop here, and that’s on…lnkd.in/gZyKwPKt

How do you ensure the long-term success of an IT project? My team follows a simple process that eliminates most issues before they come up. Step One: Careful Assessment. This is where it's important to dream big! We love to push the limits on how far we…lnkd.in/gdSbTafi

AI is nothing new. We have had Artificial Intelligence since the first line of code was written. The one thing that has changed is the speed of new developments over the past 2-5 years. Machine learning requires a lot of training and practice for grow…lnkd.in/gXV5ytSp

There’s a reason 70% of IT projects fail. The problem has to do with the way decisions are handed down the chain of command. People don’t know how to say “no.” As a result, team members who have less influence in decision-making are forced to do thing…lnkd.in/gtdWFWn8

If a project is taking too long, it’s often because of misunderstandings and bad communication. I always try to resolve these issues by talking with each team member individually. Here are some of the questions I’ll typically ask. What is your biggest f…lnkd.in/dUkMZaru

I’d like to share a counterintuitive strategy that can help any business grow. I’ve seen many entrepreneurs dive in over their heads because they weren’t aware of the resources that could help them. For example, last year I built a resource to help app d…lnkd.in/gF9f_Tcg

What is your business superpower? Mohandas K Gandhi has always been a hero of mine. Not just for his commitment to peace and nonviolence, but also for his ability to see new ways of achieving a goal. One of his secrets was that he knew how to handle peop…lnkd.in/dhMtJynd

What can you do when you’re stuck? A client once engaged me when he was ready to “blow up” a project (his words) and start all over from scratch. This would have been a simpler solution, but also more expensive. The real issue w…lnkd.in/gpJD9Kt5 lnkd.in/gPwxTVZC

I love to help companies in weird situations! This is when I come in and wave my magic wand. The secret: There is no magic wand. What I do is talk to your team. When you’re stuck, when a project is taking forever, even when an engineer’s ego is getting…lnkd.in/gypMeKHk

You know how to drive a vehicle. Good. Ever wondered what role below play while you drive? 1. Lane markings 2. Road Signs Lane markings & Roadsigns create an invisible boundary around the driver. One can't drive at 100 miles an hour if the speed sign…lnkd.in/gyAi6PrC

Dear Google employees (who lost jobs in recent layoffs), I’m not in a position to offer you a job since you guys charge big bucks, however, I can offer solid advice if you are planning to start your own gig. I’ve experience building a revenue-generatin…lnkd.in/g-65-S6K
