Plan For Today, And Plan Correctly For Tomorrow

present Instead of future

Prioritize the present when planning your product. Neglecting the future is almost as bad as over-emphasizing it. The key is to incorporate your plans for the future correctly by making them play second fiddle to the present needs of your market. Serve both today and tomorrow - but prioritize today.

Michael Arrington’s Inbox is Fat!

techcrunch logo

Michael Arrington has 2400+ unread emails in his inbox. And he needs someone to fix it.

If you are the person with the idea to save us all, send me an email and tell me all about it. Actually, strike that. Drop by my house and tell me all about it. I don’t want your message to get lost in my inbox.

Michael Arrington

Michael is looking for the email equivalent of a magic diet pill. He can’t change his behavior, so he needs a dietary supplement. The dieting-market is huge, and products succeed playing on that emotion for dieters. Is email management the same?

Uncovering Requirements With UML Class Diagrams Part 5

digging

In this article, we build on our ability to represent straight forward business relationships in UML class diagrams. These relationships describe how two objects are related to each other. Representing relationships in class diagrams helps us to better understand the domain and helps us to uncover hidden requirements. Occasionally, we have to deal with more complex relationships that involve more than two objects to properly describe. This does not happen as frequently, but when it does, our modeling efforts are more likely to uncover overlooked requirements. In this article we learn how to describe relationships that involve more than two objects.

And one of the best ways to find the right questions to build a class diagram of the business domain. This article continues our introduction to class diagrams.
