18 Pirmins Podcast Thought #18 Coca Cola is not Pepsi

#18Coca Cola is not Pepsi One difficult thing for people is to imagine similarity or mak-ing abstractions. A Cola beverage is mainly water, sugar (or substitute), color, flavor, CO2. (Some details missing  ... don’t hate me for that). If you now discuss at Pepsi a software im-plementation where you use the (perfect) slides you made for a Coca Cola project, the audience will in 90 % of the cases complain that „We are not Coca Cola and all is different“. They can’t abstract that making a Cola beverage is for nearly all Cola recipes the same… Just a different brand. If you want to get the buy-in from your team, especially if key users are involved, get as soon as possible reasonable test data, which reflect your company. Otherwise you will fight that users don’t understand the test case. (Comment form the author (me): if someone from a Cola beverage company is reading this and does not agree, please invite me for a call and tell me where I‘m wrong, happy to learn the differences.)It’s like always a fully unscripted recording ! Happy to get your feedbacks! If you liked .. spread the news !If you can’t wait for next week https://www.pibeco.com/book/If you want to support me  https://coindrop.to/Pirmin or   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pirminIT - ERP - Projects 33 years of experience - 99 thoughts - 66 minutes to read: Not Another How To Book, available on Amazon.Support the showwww.pibeco.com/book
