Show me the running tested features

Ron Jeffries said if you get running tested features in front the customer/users they'll start using it. If you get running tested features in front of the customer/users every week there comes a time when they say, "Hey, we can actually start using this now". We experienced this at one of our clients. We put running tested features in front of the customer at the end of the first week. They loved it. After 9 weeks they were pleasantly shocked at the richness and coherence of the running tested features available and decided to 'go alpha'. After 15 weeks they were ecstatic and decided to 'go beta'. After 18 weeks they decided to make it official and removed the beta badge.

The Business should always be saying "Show me the running tested features".
