All right, uh, this video we're gonna look at doing the compare wise comparison, my favorite, and it's literally just comparing two and seeing who wins. It's pretty easy to do. Write down your examples on, uh, notepad. And, um, what you should do is, if you've never done this before, is go through and do a test run. Do it at home with your partner or friends at work, just so you get an idea of the time. I remember the first time I run it as a group and I didn't test it.
Um, it took forever and everybody just got p****d off in the end. So, um, make sure that you've, you know, you've kind of had a, like, if we're gonna do four and it'll take us a couple of minutes to do, if you start getting up to like 20 features, it's gonna take half an hour to do if you've got quite a vocal group. 'cause there's a bit of discussion that goes on, it can take a lot longer. So just give it a, um, test run. It doesn't really matter how many you have and you just gotta be warned, you know, you just gotta warn people. Like if it's gonna take, if you know it's gonna take about an hour to do, just tell people it's gonna take an hour.
We'll have a break in the middle and we'll go through it all and it takes a bit of time, but it's really worth it rather than just kind of winging it and seeing how long it takes. And, um, it, you know, people getting a little bit annoyed. So, um, all you do is you grab one, okay, one of your features and you compare it against another one. So I'm gonna go you versus, so a social sharing option. Okay? Some sort of linky thing where you can share on Twitter and social.
So I'm using my example of my video training site, okay? So what features should it have? Okay? And what you've gotta do is give some people some, some basis to make discussions. So it's, there's a mixture of, um, you know, it's relevance, um, how long it's gonna take, how much it's gonna take, and kinda a wow factor as well. Like there's some things that can be, they're low value in terms of the core concept, but they are, um, you know, really high, you know, kind of wow factor.
And they might be combined with a really easy to do. The developer might chip in and go, actually that's really quick and easy to do. And everyone's like, that's pretty cool. So it might get a bit of a, a bonus compared to something else that might be not as useful, maybe more important, but will take it a lot longer. So those are the kinds of boundaries. Make sure you have your user profile handy as well, so that when you are arguing, you're not saying, I think this is better than this.
It's you're saying, um, you know, uh, marketing Mark thinks that would be better because of X, Y, and Z. Then it becomes less of a me versus you and becomes a, um, you know, a discussion about Mark and his interests makes it a little bit less, um, um, confrontational. So, um, what you do is social varying versus video trans, uh, video, um, transcription. Okay? Where the video gets, um, my videos get transcribed into English and other languages. So we, we compare the two.
Now this is, it's not about getting it done, it's about having the discussion and then you'll get a nice list at the end. But it's really about having that discussion about, you know, you, you might have to start it. You say social sharing, I think those are not important. What do other people think? And people can, it's that kind of dialogue about why this versus that and the different teams chipping in. So the developer might go, that is gonna take me about an hour to do that.
There is gonna take us and that's gonna cost us next to nothing but his time. But this there we're gonna have to outsource. May you know who we're gonna get to do this. Is it somebody in the office? Are we gonna have to go through Upwork or something else? You know, and there's a cost and then implementing it.
Developer might go, actually, it's pretty easy to implement and you can have these discussions around it because from the boss's point of view, he might be going, well why don't we do this? That's obviously the one. But then he finds out it's gonna cost him a whole lot of money to do because the developer said it's not as easy as you think. Then you can, it's about this dialogue. Okay? So everyone kinda gets an idea of what we're doing.
So, um, the long story short is you compare these two and I think social sharing, I think video transcription is more important than social sharing. Okay? The social sharing button. So I put that over there. Now you versus you exercise files, downloadable exercise files, I like more than social sharing. Great forum versus social sharing.
Uh, I think it's still more important even though that's quick. Okay, poor social sharing's done. Okay, you sit over there and he does nothing else now. Okay, now you go him versus him. Okay? Forum versus exercise files.
I think the exercise files is more important than the forum. Great. Okay. You go over there, um, and you could move this guy, I'm gonna place some off screen to make it simpler. Do that for your students as well, or the people in your gang. Okay, so here's over there these two compared to forum versus transcription.
And this is where I could have a discussion about, I think video transcription's better because it's good keywords on the page. It's good for people that are maybe, um, visually impaired or, um, find it hard, you know, or have really low bandwidth and they have to read it rather than, um, you know, rather than watch the video 'cause they can't stream fast enough and you can have this discussion. You say he wins. Okay, so he's done poor forum. Okay, then you've got these two and outta these two, I think exercise files and now you've got our most priority. Next priority, next priority, next priority.
And you can start working your way down the list, okay? Give them jobs to the different people and to go off and do. And we've all got a sense of what's important and what's not. And probably what's most important is that discussion that happens when you're comparing the two. And it's just amazing what you learn about what people think is important, what actually costs and how long things take. Especially when you're dealing with webs and apps and stuff.
There might be stuff that the developer knows, done that before, take me five seconds. Whereas you might be thinking s**t, that, that sounds really hard and it's gonna take forever and cost lots of money. Okay? So that's the PY comparison and yeah, let's get into the next video.
