Eaves Consulting: Notes & Observations

Last night my wife, a friend, and I went to see Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba at Disney World.  I have seen three Cirque perfromances (La Nouba twice and Ka once).  Each and every time I am deeply impressed with their performances.  I think that most people think of Cirque purely in artistic terms, but to ignore the techical aspects would be missing half of the show.

Technical aspects include everything from lighting, cables people fly on, stages, and performances themselves. An ideal software project would be similar to a Cirque show in many respects.  Each project is using practiced and newly learned skills.  Hopefully different parts of a project have been rehearsed.  End goal should be for a project experience to be as seamless as possible for clients.

Now, don’t expect to be seeing my on a trapeze at a future project meeting, maybe a unicycle?
