The document provides tips for creating an effective elevator pitch. It advises that the most important part is the first 8 words, which should convey the core innovation. Examples of attention-getting openers include an arresting statistic, surprising fact, or concisely stated problem. Practice is important to develop and refine an elevator pitch that hooks the listener within the first 8 words.
With around two decades of existence, the community of Software Product Line (SPL) researchers and practitioners is thriving as can be attested by the extensive research output and the numerous successful industrial projects. Education has a key role to support the next generation of engineers to build highly complex SPLs. Yet, it is unclear how SPLs are taught, what are the possible missing gaps and difficulties faced, what are the benefits, or what is the material available. In this paper, we carry out a survey with over 30 respondents with the purpose of capturing a snapshot of the state of teaching in our community. We report and discuss quantitative as well as qualitative results of the survey. We build upon them and sketch six concrete actions to continue improving the state of practice of SPL teaching.
This is a straight forward and simple approach to getting started or remembering why social media is important to your business. Keep it simple. Three Cs of social.
Sometimes we presume to know our customers and what they would like. Then we build products based on those assumptions. Coming to IMVU, having a customer base that seemed quite foreign helps distance yourself from that assumption...
Storytelling is a skill that I wish I had learned in school. This presentation was given on 9/8/12 at the University of Houston's "Maximizing Your Power Weekend," which is the Cullen College of Engineering's "annual fall semester Welcome and Orientation event for” the Program for Mastery in Engineering Studies (PROMES).
