Feedback Needed on Short Article
-
**Updated to add more content.
So I'm doing a small write up that may end up on my blog revolving around "The 7 Ps" and avoiding the unnecessary pain of deploying a solution half cocked and having it fail in production. I'm looking for a little feedback / suggestions if you will. Here's what I have so far:
Avoiding the Unnecessary: The Importance of Testing Before Deploying
Live article. Changes being added / suggested.

I like it! Well done!

Don't abbreviate senior as Sr. And don't capitalize the general noun "senior engineer", leave it in the lower case.
Plural of IT Pro is IT Pros, no apostrophe.

@scottalanmiller Thanks for pointing those out, corrected now.
-
As far as the flow is concerned, does it make for an easy read? Is it easy to follow, easy to understand?

Just playing devil's advocate here and criticizing the article, but isn't it a bit obvious? Does anyone not know that good project planning and lots of testing is a good thing?

I was thinking that myself, but at the same time the obvious sometimes alludes us. The intended audience isn't really meant for those of us who understand that it's obvious, but at the same time trying to relate past experience to someone who might just be starting out in IT. If that makes sense......

Fair enough. In my head, your 7Ps is spoken by Pippi from the film Mr Popper's Penguins.

What about a Scottish woman using a British accent in an American commercial?

Never been on SW then?
No matter how obvious something seems, most people are not aware.

Where is this article destined to be posted?
-
In articles that I have written I often get one person responding to me thanking me because they learned something and another contacting me because he is offended that I was so condescending or pointing out something overly obvious.

Yup. I've seen that as well.
-
@scottalanmiller it's destined to one or two places. Spotlight on IT, my personal blog or both.

@scottalanmiller that's why I don't allow unsolicited comments on my blog
