He built his company's whole strategy planning tool alone in under a month after the VP found the bought ones too expensive
His VP of engineering reviewed two or three strategy tools on the market and they were prohibitively expensive, so he asked if it could be built instead. He built it alone in less than a month: long term objectives broken down into annual objectives, improvement priorities, projects, milestones and tasks, with bowler charts tracking the KPIs, full project management tools, and containerized staging, development and production environments. It cost roughly $1,000 to $2,000 in an AI app credits. The VP then put his own name all over it, and made him replace his own name in the about section with the name of the organization.
How it works
- Run workshops to turn long term objectives into annual objectives and projects
- Build the tool solo with AI in under a month, including CI/CD and three environments
- Hand it over
Why it’s worth knowing
A tool a VP could not afford to buy got built by one engineer between other work, and the credit went to the VP anyway.
