Small company development Mgmt

The key to development is the number of personnel you expect to have on your payroll during any quarter. There are a whole host of federal regulations that come into play as your business grows, and you have to anticipate those regs, or be blind-sided when you exceed the first 15 employees.

Things like Americans with Disabilities Act, Family Leave Act, COBRA, ERISA, and the rest of the federal alphabet soup that says what you must do, and what you can't do.

Glen,
I would love to participate in your discussion. I run a small management consultancy business that sees me dealing with a lot of small to medium technology companies as well as a number of technology dependant organisations that are grapplinghow technology changes the decision making process.

If this thread is still open,
I have a few comments to add.

I have been in the development manager role at my present organization for 90 days. In that time, the IT group has grown from ~25 to ~32 people. During this time period, we have had 1 major launch and many incremental launches. I am the de facto manager for the majority of the effort, and I must say it has been a hair-raising and eye-popping experience.
