Reaching the Summit
Today was an especially good day. Few things can compare to seeing the combined efforts of a large team who has worked so hard together towards a shared vision finally reach that goal. Like hikers on a long trek finally reaching the summit, today we took time to survey the terrain we conquered, thought a little about the road ahead, but still enjoyed the moment. Building SaaS based products with Agile process can result in a relentless pace, so these moments are special.
I’ve had the pleasure of leading terrific teams of very talented people in delivery of software projects, and this day, I have the privilege of leading the best of those. The scale of innovation, integration, and imagination that as a team they delivered is a tribute to their commitment to our company and our clients. For me, it is a huge thrill to see what months ago was a set of ideas turned into a quality solution.
Today, in our team meeting, I tried to convey the importance of this accomplishment. Ten years from now, each of us may look back on this day, proud and maybe a little amazed of what we did together. There’s a very good chance many of us will never deliver so much innovation in one day again on this scale. I’m proud of our team, grateful for their efforts, and hopeful many non-profits will benefit from their hard work.
