Adaptive Path Training - The Nine Pillars of Successful Web Teams
Last week I attended a training session by Adaptive Path on user experience design and two nuggets stood out:
1. Adaptive Path has formulated a very powerful tool for explaining the components needed to build a successful web team.
» The Nine Pillars of Successful Web Teams
This wasn’t the main point of their training, but I found it extremely valuable. We are a web only shop and sometimes our clients don’t fully appreciate what all that entails and what kind of expertise we bring to the table. The web is a multi-disciplinary animal and the 9 Pillars does a powerful job of showing the pieces. It’s also a great tool to think about your own career development and what may be missing from your team.
2. It’s great getting together with peers in the Web Development industry.
It’s rare that professionals from small and big companies, generalists and specialists, get together and talk shop. Our industry needs to make more efforts for collaboration and discussion. Maybe we should host an event in Santa Barbara?
