The customers move

Our customers have agreed on putting real data into the system. Our customers have agreed to sit "in" the pit with us.

I think this means the project will see much better progress. First we will be able to understand how well the product is performing, and talk about how far along we are in terms of the customers business.

Second our customers will be less isolated from development and possibly share a common domain model with us.

Finally, I hope our developers will get a better grasp of the domain from the customer.

All good signs.
