Ken this is exactly what I advise my clients to do and have suggested to Andrey several times ofter the years. I coach/teach/... Agile software development for a living.
While no agile method tells you exactly how to engage your stake holders it's usually during as simple as a monthly demo (webcast maybe?), with regular releases. For an app likely MLO a monthly our bi monthly release cycle probably makes sense. The idea would be to make most releases small. We as users could decide on month by month basis if the new features were enough to make the effort worthwhile. Andrey take up three challenge be consistent in your communications. Set a MLO task to show us working software every month :-) Cheers Mark On Feb 5, 2012 11:08 PM, "pottster" <[email protected]> wrote: > Leave it long enough and there will be nobody to communicate with.
