Lessons Learned:
  • Freeze existing functionality
  • Field small, co-located, talented team (4 developers)
  • Dedicate long technology evaluation, prototyping, and planning period
  • Assign technical decision maker and communicator to management
  • Leverage UX team: all page design and HTML gen, then give to dev to slice up and wire
  • Change only the obvious
  • Deploy beta frequently and actively recruit feedback
