Advice to PM's everywhere.

1. Spend more time in the design stage.  The complaint I most often hear from coders is that the application they are being asked to code was not properly designed.  Some tell me there is little if no time spent in design.  Spending time in design and involving the development team in the design assures better applications, shorter phases after design, and happier developers.  Everyone wants to know their opinion is important, especially the team members doing the actual development of your project.  Slow down and design, involve your developers, produce a better more scalable product, and an increase ROI for your client.

I find that these little comments actually lend themselves to better team practices.  In my example, it would be a good idea to coach the development staff to ALWAYS place the cursor where it should be when a user lands on a form.  These minor details make us better professionals and give us happier users.  It all starts with listening closely to the stakeholders.
