A hardware company could spend $3 million to launch their first device. A software company could get to revenue faster and still have a $1 million to market a product with recurring revenue.

Farid Mheir's insight:
The paper behind yesterday's spotify videos on their agile structure. 
Scoop.it!
Here's part 1 of short animated video describing our engineering culture (here's part 2). This is a journey in progress, not a journey completed, and there's a lot of variation from squad to squad. So the stuff in the video isn't all true for all squads all the time, but it appears to be mostly true…
Farid Mheir's insight:
Amazing two 15 min videos describing the engineering culture and organization of teams at spotify. In a nutshell they give team full autonomy to deliver products all the way to production, thus eliminating the possible excuses that one can have for not being able to reach their targets. AMAZING structure and video. Must watch.
And this does not apply only to startups. Established companies should consider re-organizing their teams based on the agile principles that spotify puts forwards. The projects that I see failing or suffering from delays and bloat in large companies I see around would be in much better shape if they implemented similar structures....

Very smart way to organize work at Spotify
Scoop.it!
The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset that is most definitely the future of gaming. The device straps onto your head and completely immerses you inside a video game. It also has motion sensors so you can look around as if you were really inside the world. But it's nearly impossible to explain. The Oculus Rift is one of those things you have to see to believe. Several Business Insider employees gave it a whirl last week, and we took them on a trip through the solar system, on a medieval roller coaster, and put them into a death-by-guillotine simulation.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Along the lines of the google glass project, the apearance of low cost devices like this can have a profound impact in small engineering, design, graphics, architecture, urban planning teams. Anyone in business that has a need for viewing digital world in 3D. And judging from the reactions in this video, it works!

WHY IT MATTERS: a short post that gives an overview of cost and delays when building a hardware product. In my experience, these numbers are realistic but can, of course, be much much bigger... ;-)
