Sunday: All Campus, All The Time

I have three days of classes remaining: tomorrow, Wednesday, and Wednesday, June 1. And I've got deliverables on each one of them.

Tomorrow is our paper/presentation for ENTRE, and Wednesday is the paper/presentation for New Product Development. Thus, I'm spending pretty much all of today (like, until 10 PM) on campus in team meetings, where we hammer out the final aspects of our projects, polish the prose, and basically get things ready for prime time.

The projects have become much more interesting as the quarter progressed. NPD, in particular, has been planned to a level of detail that's forced us to deal with all sorts of niggling (but fascinating) questions about manufacturing, marketing, competition, and so on. I don't know that our product would really be successful (it's hard to make a dollar and a cent in the music business, which is where we play), but our assumptions are good. And in a class like this one, the planning effort is the point.

OK. Off to Greenlake for a run with Jeff.
