It is shortening the required time to market and with little warning. This high-pressure environment requires high productivity from its players: either become faster and leaner without compromising quality or give the game away to a hungrier competitor who is willing to do whatever it takes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how does one become\nmore productive?
