Jason Delmore (Product Manager), Manju Kiran (Senior Engineer) and I will be in Los Angeles, CA next week conducting our final round of customer research for Centaur. This is our 5^th and final week of customer research visits since we began last April. If you are not familiar with the Synchronous Development process, it's pretty straight forward. In a nutshell, we've been visiting customers and showing them what we're planning to build into Centaur. Based on feedback, we refactor rinse and repeat. It's a very agile approach to requirements gathering and really helps us mold our release. This process is used throughout Adobe for nearly all of our products so upper management places a good amount of faith in the results.

One of our meetings in Los Angeles fell through today and we're looking for another ColdFusion shop to visit. We'll be in town next Tuesday and Wednesday (July 8-9). If your office is in or around LA and you'd like to get a preview (and give us your feedback) of ColdFusion 9, please drop me a line.

Adam it's funny I was going to suggest your going to a company called Campaigners as they are a good sized shop and are part of a very large group (ASM). I used to manage development there and was succeeded by someone with far more knowledge than I. I was chatting with someone I worked with there are it seems like they already pinged you possibly. I wish you good luck in LA.

Oh, had never heard of Synchronous Developement. On the other hand I'm not in developement myself. Going to do a bit of reading on the topic and compare it to our teams methods, thanks for the idea.
