License & Entitlement changes are a necessary evil. Here’s a brief discussion of two key constituents that need to be onboard.

Crisis, Chaos & Panic have a corollary: Decisions made in avacuum can often create explosive pressure.

Information Radiators. We all use them but it is likely you haven’t consciously stopped to think about them in a while. Which ones do you use? Which work for you? Which could be better?

Be paranoid if you wish: Go ahead, bury your heads in the sand. But realize it is human nature to want to share or broadcast information. SM is here to stay.
A team, no matter how big or small, can only succeed if everyone talks with one another, coordinating their actions. In the end, a well-coordinated team looks as if it were one.

The key to success is clear: Smooth, rapid, delivery of a product demands effective, clear, and complete communication between all involved parties. It is better to risk over-communicating than the alternative. And, only through frequent communication can teams hope to adapt to change (they need to know about it).
Maybe we should call these Software Anthropology meetings.

If it weren’t for being willing to take a risk, albeit a teensy-weensy one, along with the ability to convince others to follow, a great time that was…would have never been. Being a leader isn’t just about title and position. Most often, it’s about seeing an opportunity and being open to take advantage of it.

Success = Price, Product, & Partnership. It will become increasingly important to develop effective, productive, relationships with everyone around us. There is always someone who can under cut us in price, or produce a more finely tailored product, but they cannot beat us on relationship if they don’t have one.
Tools like Twitter, IM, SMS, and email are fabulous tools. We need to guard against their casual nature from eroding effectiveness, courtesy, or professionalism.
