I definitely agree with the point about small successes. They got me through the build up to going live with app two weeks ago. Nowhere near as large an undertaking as you guys though. Likewise with thinking differently about problems - I think this strategy is the biggest factor in the current state of the code behind my app. I don't think it has quite bubbled to the surface of the app, but I expect it will become visible soon. I have yet to experience significant client interaction, so that point is one to look forward to! All the best with 5pm.</p> Great to hear your story.

Love the article. I couldn't agree more that in the development process small goals followed by small rewards is the fuel that keeps the team going. After the first release, client support is a critical component....although at times it does seem like a burden.</p> We have been through several releases over the years. Love the article.

One recomendation.., on the timeline view.., if you are trying to minimize the clicks with the clean interface and all.., think about changing up the clicking of tasks from that view.

Having to click on the arrow to expose a dropdown to then click “Go to the Task” is a waste of a click. Maybe have it so when you click on an item it will pull some task details and show a brief task detail dialog on the page, which then allows the user to click through for more details or editing.

Keep up the good work.., I look forward to hearing more updates and success stories of closed won deals.
