As I wrote in my last post I moved the blog from the default site www.tollkuci.com to blog.tollkuci.com (Currently www.tollkuci.com redirect to blog.tollkuci.com but this will change later). The reason for this change is because I want to use www.tollkuci.com as the official site of my newly born mISV “Tollkuci Software”. Yes, that’s right, a new mISV on the market and based on my knowledge that would be the first mISV in Albania. I wanted to do it since some time and finally decided to go on and do it. There will be a lot of work to do but I have made some important decisions:

* I have decided on the product I’m going to build.
* I have set the deadline for going live and that will be October 1, 2008.
* I’m almost done selecting the name for the product.
* I have done some basic research and I’m sure there’s enough market for it.

I have started some preparatory work, but the official start date is July 1, 2008 which leaves 3 months for going live. Considering that I will work on it in my “spare” time that’s not a lot of time, but my plan is to spend about 20% of my time. That would be about 120 hours in total and I believe it’s possible to built a simple product and have it ready for sale in 120 hours (others have done it in less time, like 1 week or 1 month part time). Lately, I have tried to adapt myself to the SCRUM methodology and I’m planning to use it for this product. There will be 3 sprints in total and I have already planned the work for the first one. The good thing about SCRUM is that if you cannot implement everything you drop features but you still have a product by the end of the sprint. I’m confident I will have a product ready for sale by October 1, 2008 (thought it may not sale).
In my next post, I’ll write more about the product I’m going to built. Also, I’m planning to write much more often here so stay tuned…
