| 00:00 - 00:05 | I was sitting my in office and heard a knock |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | They said, "hey - drop everything" |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | So I looked up and said, 'okay' |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | They said, "we have a request directly from the C Suit for a new cutting edge application" |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | Take a ticket... there is a queue |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | [laughing] |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | Theres a list |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | And you're at the bottom of it |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | [laughing] |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | [laughing] |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | C-Suite IS the entire list |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | In fact, we have lists for their lists |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | I said "wait... wait... wait" |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | let me guess what you'll say next |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | You're going to hire a consultant |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | And they'll build it |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | [laughing] |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | Go ahead... i'll see you in 2 months |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | Might as well light your money on fire |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | Did they suggest PBI too? Or maybe streamlt? |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | "This is easy, itll be built in no time" |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | Fast forward 2 months and its still not done |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | And they ask for more money |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | Now here's the truth, I didn't tell them |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | I knew about this request already |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | I used Sigma and it's already done |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | We built it in an afternoon |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | With one person, zero code, and full audit trail |
| 01:58 - 02:01 | So now what am I going to do with all my time back? Coffee breaks |
| 02:02 - 02:07 | Lots of them |
| 02:10 - 02:12 | They thought they were going to PBI |
| 02:12 - 02:13 | [laughing] |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | Can you believe they gave me two months to build this |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | I even embed it in their application because I was bored |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | But no they say, "lets use consultants" or my favorite, "Lets buy a point solution" |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | They think will solve it all our problems |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Until requirements change and it breaks |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | And they have to start all over |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | The real expense is going to be the coffee bill with all my coffee breaks |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | So let me ask you something... |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Why do we even still have PBI? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | Its because Microsoft makes the C-Suite feel good |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | But all the work is being done inside Sigma |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | Literally all the work |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | But we let them make pie charts in PBI |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | Just to make them feel good about themselves |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | You can't make this stuff up |
