In a world where we are bombarded with a relentless stream of emails, slides, webinars, it is so nice to get a crisp, rapid update on product “delta”
In April, I wrote “There is something very reassuring when Stan Swete, CTO of Workday signs off a presentation (as he did today) on the latest release of his product with "we look forward to doing this again in 4 months"”
Sure as the weather cools, this morning Stan led a presentation on Release 20. The slide below provides highlights and the quick demos during the session. One hour. Well paced. No travel needed.
One change next time. Workday is moving from 3 to 2 annual updates. That’s what customers want. But in the Technology Summit last week, I asked them if that meant a slow down in new features. No, was the answer. Fatter updates.
Which may mean a longer session for Stan. Given how efficiently his team marches through these product updates, I will gladly make time for that.
