I'd fire them all for under-performing, then do it all myself in half an hour :-)
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wilkin, Kurt Sent: Tuesday, October 12 2004 2:11 p.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List Subject: [DUG-Offtopic] Friday Question on a Tuesday... Kind of Virtual Super 12 but not: Given a respectably big client base and infinite development resource (say, as a starter : Linus, RMS, Michael Chen, JWZ, Anders Hejlsberg, James Gosling, John Romero, Sergey or Larry, and an army of minions. Chuck in some management too if you like, say Joel Spolsky, Ballmer, Eric Schmidt). How would you best structure your fantasy development team. (To solve your fantasy client need.) - outsource everything (okay, the fantasy dev team worked at the outsource) - client by client teams - according to infrastructure (say client (pretty much meaning web), middleware, db, security, network) - function (Customer Owners, Widget_A Owners, Widget_B owners, Service Owners, availability Owners) - by genius (the smartest guy gets to do what he wants, the next smartest gets the pick of the rest) - other, better way With attention to - who should face the client : anyone (not RMS), account managers, problem owners - scalability : small to large and back to small again - robustness - management overhead (people, code, security, hardware) - keeping (or not keeping) staff And without resorting to "Hey, you guys do what you want and I'll count the money". Cheers, Kurt. _______________________________________________ Offtopic mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/offtopic _______________________________________________ Offtopic mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/offtopic
