between subject experts and software developers
Developing software requires knowledge in two domains: the subject-matter and engineering. Most members of a team are expert in one and not the other. We want to take you to a time when collaboration is smooth nonetheless, despite differing backgrounds.
Fourdays revolutionizes collaboration. We believe that success happens when the subject-matter expert and the engineer understand and trust each other. We explore the dynamics of this relationship and try to discover how it impacts the way we build software.
And while we figure out how to improve collaboration in an assessable manner, we will build a set of tools that help you apply that approach. This blog is the journal of our experiments, and the thoughts and insights we learn along the way.

In June we sent out a link with a tutorial that offered a glimpse of a product that we would love to build and use. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Now we compiled an overview to share with you all.

Think about that. Now also consider the number of decisions people make based on spreadsheets. Now tell me that is not a problem.

Why do we trust things? And how do we bolster trust in software?

Let's stop hoping software development projects will work out, and start trusting they will. But how do you validate trust?

The projects that I've seen fail, almost always failed because of a lack of trust between domain experts and software engineers. And without trust we cannot be certain that the code does the right thing.
