 * How to add real value to org ?


== Ask the right questions ==

 1. What's the most frustrating part of your week?

 1. What's the biggest thing slowing our team down right now?

 1. If you could wave a magic wand and solve one problem, what would it be?

== Examples ==

 1. Team know for buggy code and moving slow ?
    * Skills gap and training ?
      * No real gap, software release process took days, dozens of approval steps, batch changes, terrible system
      * Broken system costing the team 2weeks of developer productivity every single month.
      * Expensive problem
    * Dont' ask: How do i solve this once?
    * Ask: What skill, if i mastered it would solve this class of problem forever ?
    * Value is not in just fixing the pipeline.
      * VALUE: Frame the technical pain as business impact, 
        * Not our deployment pipeline is complex, but as we are loosing developer 2weeks of productivity per month to this process delaying our future launch by a quarter
        * Deliver the message in terms business leaders care about
        
== Find core skill ==

 * Solving a problem you care about VS solveing a problem they care about
 * Loop
   1. Solve one problem for one person, make it measurably better - don't boil the ocean
   2. Generalize the solution - package it, set up website, document it
   3. Announce the product - post it - wiki page
      * Frame it - Here's a common pain, here the tool that solves it, here's how to use it.

 * Find product market fit
   * Connect what you can uniquely do, with problems people needs desperately fixed.
   * Stop perfecting your product in a vacuum
   * Ask about pain 
   * Deliver quality solutions, turn them into systems
