After 11 months working on Tsar Project we are finally “ending” the pre-production stage. The pre-production was all about a discovery process, mostly the first opening of a double diamond process,  that in a way validates the early concept stages.

What must mark the beginning of production is a stage where we do not have any kind of uncertainties or doubts and can work on a “final” version of the software, without getting around different ways of doing things and without any big scope or feature changes.

The Production Planning we discussed the answers to questions that our testing and experimenting didn’t solve 100% and even the ones that testing and experimenting themselves had raised. The end result of our planning was excellent. More details… on the next chapters!

By the way, the one posting is Marcel Pace, executive producer of Tsar Project. (I rarely post here… You know, sound, music, project managing and process managing… kinda busy here, hehe! )

So, we have two big news for our readers!

First of all, we’ve been approved into the “Incubator” of the Technological University of our state (Paraná)! The important fact is that now Aduge has a physical place to exist! Quite small, but it helps a lot. We also have a weird kind of bonus: we need to show our accomplishments to the people that run this “Incubator”. (They seem to be really easy going about that, though… but I think we are doing pretty well being our own bosses!)

Second, we’ve just returned from our immersive Strategic Planning, an event that put every member of Aduge in one place (Itapoá, south of Brazil) for 4 days in a row. We actually worked some weeks before to prepare that, and finished everything 2 weeks after coming back. Quite an effort… But it seems that working will be easier now on!

Just to illustrate what we need to accomplish in the next few months, a mental map of our Future Vision:
