71: Beyond Alpha
b'
Ben has been busy. The alpha launch date for Tuple was Jan. 7. He was nervous about it, but so far, it\\u2019s going well. One participant said, \\u201cI\\u2019m sort of surprised you\\u2019re calling this an \\u2018alpha,\\u2019 because everything seems to work!\\u201d Ben was glad to hear it, but admits that\\u2019s not totally true. He\\u2019s still far from where he wants to be with Tuple, but is definitely on the right track.
\\n\\nDerrick has been hard at work, too. He continues to develop Level and knows that there will be ups and downs with customers, functionality, etc. But, he continues to move forward and strives to help others solve problems associated with team communication.
\\n\\nToday\\u2019s Topics Include:
\\n\\n- \\n
- Importance of manually onboarding people via calls about product \\n
- Setting expectations and communication efforts for a rolling roll out \\n
- Users understand that bugs will happen and offer friendly feedback \\n
- Experimenting with pricing models for product\\u2019s current and future releases \\n
- Tuple\\u2019s performance dashboard displays key details; caring about things that matter \\n
- Bandwidth: Do fewer things and do them well to be able to compete \\n
- Level\\u2019s future strategies and goals regarding customers and feedback \\n
- If a product can solve a user\\u2019s problem, then it\\u2019s good enough to give to them \\n
- Poor execution and explanation of Drip\\u2019s price increase \\n
