What Is Agile Development and How to Do It

What Is Agile Development?

To understand agile development, let’s go back to the days of the waterfall methodology. Here, you produce something and then you say, ‘Okay, now it’s working, but it might have broken.’ And then you go through a process that’s in series. There’s a clear start and there’s a clear end, but there’s nothing in the middle that isn’t defined. It only has a start and an end, and the product is created.

The Truth About Having Many Products and Services You Need to Know Now

Giving Consumers Lots of Options

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDOoJgW1skI

One of the most amazing things about New York is the sheer amount of choice. If you’re feeling hungry, there’s a lot of options, and this is great for consumers. But what you need to realise is that each stand is only offering a few items. The hot dog stand doesn’t sell pizzas and cappuccinos; it just sells hot dogs and a few extras.

Ugly Apples Selling Cheap

Is Price Your Identifier?

Last week, we covered off on apples and oranges and how they can’t be the same price.

If you’ve made it clear that you’ve got a B-grade product and you’re charging an A-grade price, that’s not very fair. If you have a product that sells for $10 and you’re charging $6, but there’s no service and support, that’s not very fair. That’s when it becomes quite hard for people who are trying to compare apples and oranges.

How is that going to work? Obviously, you can’t compare apples with oranges, but this comes down to another big problem, and that’s having your price as your identifier.

Business Audit: Comparing Apples and Oranges

You can’t compare apples with oranges and that’s what it comes down to. We’ve been told this time and time again, don’t compare apples with oranges. But the problem is people know what an apple looks like and people know what an orange looks like, but people don’t know when they’ve bought a lemon. Pretty clever what I did there, I thought. Anyway, so what are we going to be talking about is removing and unveiling what’s behind the curtains. This comes down to any service that isn’t really tangible and you are led to believe that the person that you’ve got doing the service is doing a good job. Now, this can be bookkeepers, accountants, solicitors, lawyers, anything like that. IT people, marketers, SEO people, SCM people, ad-words people, all these people. Unless you’re in the industry and you can double-check and cross-check what they’re doing, you don’t really know if the voodoo that they do is any good.

Tips for Creating a Social Media Calendar

Today we’re going to be talking about tips for creating a social media calendar. As you know, there are always new social media types coming up and disappearing. We know that Instagram is the running horse. It’s shooting up, down and centres and it’s absolutely overtaking some of the others and annihilating them. We also know that Google Plus has disappeared and is no longer a thing. So you need to make sure that you have a multi-tier approach whenever you are going to be marketing through any social media and marketing in general. You don’t want to rely upon only one technology because when it disappears, you’ll burn and you will disappear as well. So there are these tools that come out for managing social media calendars.

How to Prepare for Your First Three Years in Business

The first three years in business. You’ve got all these things to do and I’ve got some great news for you. It’s the most stressful time that you’ve had up until now, but it doesn’t disappear. It continues, you just get used to the stress.

Common Mistakes in Running a Small Business

If you’ve been in business for a while, you’d know that there are some mistakes that you’ve made. Today, we’ve been asked what are the common mistakes that we see around the traps in small businesses. It’s a great question because we see a lot. Are you using paper? Have you answered the phone in your business recently? Can you monitor what all of your staff are doing and can they reference a document that shows them what they’re meant to be doing? If the answer is no, then you’re making a mistake.

The Effects of a Poor Hire on Your Business

The Effects of a Poor Hire

So, we all make mistakes. What we’re going to be talking about today is maybe something a bit more important than just dialling the wrong number, and that is hiring the wrong person. If you’ve experienced the effects of a poor hire, you know what I’m talking about. It’s a terrible feeling. You grab them on, you already go through all the interviewing process, you’ve gone through Seek, you’ve got 200 resumes that you’ve looked through. You’re resumed out. You could write a book on reading resumes, and no one would read it because it’s boring! But you’ve got there. You’ve gone through the process of hiring and interviewing, and you’ve got the person in front of you, or hired remotely, depending on how your business is set up. And you’ve decided that they are the best person. Then they just don’t seem to work the way they interviewed. They’re obviously really good at selling themselves, but shithouse at performing and bringing things to the table.
