Today we celibrate the go-live of the first release of our new product. It's the start of a web based (Silverlight 4) solution for HR and Payroll. Is two years a long time for a first release? Does adding another three years before we are anywhere near finished sounds like a lot of time? I'd love to hear from devs working at product companies.

Can software change culture?
An excerpt from our latest post:
We believe that a new wave of enterprise and business software is being built today that will be pulled into companies and will change their cultures. Unlike the first wave of business software that was imposed on people, this next wave will be adopted and spread because it is built around people and what they really do, and not around processes we impose on them.

We wouldn't get very far if we decided that the next version of Rypple should allow you to defy gravity or travel faster than light :) Some of the 'immovable' processes in big corporations end up feeling a lot like the laws of physics. Do you guys do a lot of user testing to make sure you understand the needs of your users?

I'm working on a complete rebuild of a product that has been around for ten years. This is software that deals with HR and Payroll. The user interface has been evolving for this period of time as well. Now that we are doing a rebuild our functional specialists take in feedback from some of our large customers and from our consultants who relay customer feedback to them on a regular basis.
We have yet to reach the stage where we can do a good user test on the first parts but we hope to do the first one by the end of the year. However, we feel that as the UI is still a lot like what our professional users are used to, that there shouldn't be big feedback.
Another detail that is important to note in our situation is that we have a fairly large usergroup inside our company to provide us with honest feedback quickly.
Then there is the usergroup that only works with our software as a user. In effect that means every employee at our company uses that part of the software and as everyone working on it is also a user this provides for some interesting insights.

Ward Cunningham weighs in on the concept of "Technical Debt", a phenomenon in business software development that most of us are all too familiar with.
