Somehow i get this as I find myself either creating or using a generic e.g. "run.sh" which I then wrap into other scripts which call the generic one with the most common use cases / configurations.
Still in MVP mode - but it already made some sales.
What's different about it from similar solutions is the way you can get data from an Excel file (most other companies have the JSON and CSV figured out).
It supports Excel style addressing so it's pretty flexible on how you reach for the data inside a PowerPoint template (access every sheet, every cell, named range or table to use it in merging process).
People use it for various kinds of use-cases - creating certificates, automating pricing offers, delivering employee feedback forms, preparing market research presentations and even subtitles for a theatrical play.
Two employees of a company were suddenly approached by the CEO accompanied by the CTO.
- Death or Scrum? - asked the CEO
The employees knew nothing about this Scrum thing, but were to intimidated to ask and the other choice was one they were not ready to make.
The first one thus replied in a quavering voice: "Scrum"
In this moment the first employee was grabbed by the CTO and was put through horrors not many could withstand:
- Neverending sprint planning meetings
- Daily Scrums that lasted 4 hours
- The sprint reviews
- Sprint retrospectives
- The backlog refinements
After all this the employee was only able to say: "Still working on User Story XYZ. No impediments."
The CEO then asked the second employee what their answer was. The employee was fighting a tough fight in their head.
"I hate meetings, I would love to do some real work, but I'm not ready to die yet. On the other hand, I can't go through life after all that abuse; There's no way I could live with myself". So he answered: DEATH!
To this the CEO swiftly replied: Death ... by Scrum
