Live Blogging from Gartner - Thursday Thread

Thursday, December 11, 2008 |

Starting out with how to draw solutions on the back of a napkin. A very neat way to get people to try and visualize their problems with models. Should make a lot of sense to people in the room - Enterprise Architects. But outside of this bubble... Not sure how to crack the point that only 8-10% of the population is able to think in a model driven way.

So the speaker is from Microsoft. And he is trying to explain how Microsoft discovered Mashups. LOL

Very nice representation of the required pieces of a document we call a "Problem Statement". It's amazing to me that this is a revelation to anyone, but people are still taking notes. Maybe being polite?

Well, one interesting takeaway - don't put timelines in a circle, human brain processes straight lines better.

Haven't been blogging much, since I've been in roundtables all day. Lots of interesting quotes and notes.
