The Importance of the #User in #Systems #Development
The industry as it stands today has proven that it can not change. The bureaucracy is in control and will not cede its position. It is self serving and uninterested in the needs of any other stakeholder groups. Individuals and society have issues and opportunities that the bureaucracies refuse to consider. It is time to remove them from their comfortable seat and throw the bums out. Our appeal is to the oil and gas investors who are as equally frustrated with the profitability of the industry. They can direct the bureaucracy to fund People, Ideas & Objects, our user community and the service providers.
It is the people in the user community and service providers who will run the industry in the future that are being organized around our network (@piobiz on Twitter). This is the critical next step in our development. And the determination of whether we will be successful or not. Significant talk about the user and their role in the development of software is discussed in systems today. However, once the budget is fixed and the dollars start flowing, the realization that the user communities development is slow, hard and difficult work. Not something that fits into the gantt chart. Therefore user community development continues to be spoken of and very rarely implemented in terms of its potential. Everyone glosses over the fact that no one did any user community development and the system is deployed to widespread user disappointment.
This has been the traditional means of software development and implementation in the industry. This is unacceptable to me. User community involvement is the difference between success and failure in systems development, in my opinion. It takes at least six months for an individual to get a handle on their position in the organization. Multiply that by the hundreds of different positions in the industry and we understand the unique and difficult characteristics of how systems are to support these users. To not have the users involved in the development to portray this knowledge to the developers, then what exactly are the developers doing.
And what we are doing in People, Ideas & Objects in terms of user community development is not your fathers user community developments. We are creating a permanent user community for these developments, a dynamic revolutionary movement away from the bureaucracy, and a sub-industry of service providers that is derivative of the user community. If we had the money necessary to complete our developments we would sit on it until the user community was fully developed to the point where we could begin developments with them in place. This is something that we can do without the financial resources. And what we choose to do now. Develop the user community, the long, hard and difficult work of finding the people who are like minded in their desire to provide the oil and gas producer with the most profitable means of oil and gas operations.
The Preliminary Specification provides the oil and gas producer with the most profitable means of oil and gas operations. People, Ideas & Objects Revenue Model specifies the means in which investors can participate in these user defined software developments. Users are welcome to join me here.
