I like it. Why? Rifle-focused, spot on satisfaction of basic customer needs. Shared calendar, public appointment enrollment, a custom URL for a calendar, personal profile, connectivity to social networks and syncing Outlook, Google Calendar, etc. Simple interface, easy to use. What’s not to like?
From a startup point of view, I think they’ve gone just a little bit beyond lean development and focused their value stream on the right table stakes to make a helluva launch with the right feature set. Just when you’re thinking that agile development consists of streamlining and getting minimal features out in a singleton fashion, someone goes the other direction, creates a little market headroom for themselves by getting the right features out first and off they go!
Lean means getting it right the first time by understanding your customer. They’ve increased their agility by getting it right out of the gate. What are your table stakes to make a dent in the market on launch?
For you Tungle-experienced folks, did they do too much? What are your thoughts on table stakes for launch?
