Central Casting Meets the Software Project | Tinder on Customers | Cloud Wars Live

The Big Themes:
• The Ambassador: Excited about the project and are telling everyone about it. They’ll be the first ones that post their go-live badge on LinkedIn. They’re also rolling-up their sleeves to contribute.
• The up-and-comer: Might not have previous experience but see the project as an opportunity to grow in their career and add a successful digital transformation to their resume. Great attitude.
• Debbie Downer/Don Downer: “We’ve always done it this way” is their MO. They have a problem for every solution.
• I’m only here for the snacks: Quiet and non-participatory in meetings and email. Demotivate the team and get credit where credit is not due.

The Big Quotes:
• “The success of a project is going to boil down to good people management.”
• “You want to make sure that you're hand picking the team.”
• “A lot of these problems can be solved through good documentation and a good project blueprint where people have known exactly what they're needing to contribute and buy one.”
