learned so far wiki ♥ maps , helsinki, february 2015
hei
my name is mauricio

NYPL Labs
None
None
None
we’ve been at it for 3+ years
a few things we’ve learned so far
disclaimer
a few things we’ve i’ve learned so far
four things
practical
1
start with a prototype
None
None
None
None
None
None
None
menus.nypl.org
200k dishes in 13k menus
made the case for NYPL Labs
it started with a prototype
None
None
None
None
None
None
None
None
“wouldn’t it be cool if…?”
None
None
None
A FEW DAYS later…
None
None
distill the task to its critical components
prototypes help determine viability
prototypes help communicate the idea
–@mikeindustries “a prototype is worth a thousand meetings”
None
None
“great! it’s just polish now, right?”
2
“polish” takes (a lot of) time
None
None
3 months later…* *REAL NUMBER
None
None
stereo.nypl.org
None
None
None
still, three months is not that long when you’re used
to year-long projects
…and polish is good
LATER that day at 1:00AM…
None
None
so far 47,000 images created
another “smaller” example
None
None
None
None
None
None
took about 2 weeks
spacetime.nypl.org
A FEW HOURS later…
None
a good problem to have?
also, polish can wait
None
None
could use a redesign
None
None
None
1.1 million more dishes and that’s even though we’re not
scanning menus as often
curatingmenus.org by @katie_rawson and @trevormunoz
@_BadTaste_ by @bibliotechy
polish works
“polish” is design
…but it takes time
“ok… so i just factor this in my planning”
3
everything takes longer than anticipated
people are bad at making estimates* *S. Grimstada, M. Jørgensena,
2007; I. Newby-Clark, M. Ross, R. Buehler, D. Koehler, D. Griffin, 2007; V. Mahnič, T. Hovelja, 2012; and more…
(yeah, even in “agile development”)
people cannot estimate what they have not done
–@jasonfried “planning is guessing”
legacy website redesign ca. 2005
None
None
None
“let’s take 90 days to redesign this”
(huge red flag)
there are always surprises usually not the good kind of
surprises
None
None
None
None
“we have to have this feature”
18 months later…
None
None
None
None
None
None
None
None
digitalcollections.nypl.org
start with a scope or a deadline
…but not both
don’t take too long
–@schuyler “if you're proud of your code you waited too
long to ship it”
…but take as long as it needs
…and prepare for surprises
4
hackathons are starting points

FIVE WEEKS later…
None
github.com/NYPL/map-vectorizer
None
None
~80k building footprints in a day instead of years
None
this resulted in a new question
“is the output any good?”
…so we did a prototype
None
None
None
None
buildinginspector.nypl.org
2 MONTHS later…
None
None
None
None
84%: YES 7%: FIX or about 91% good enough
we ♥ our contributors
we ♥ our contributors
…so we did more prototypes!
None
None
1 million classifications so far! ~18 months since launch
None
None
None
None
…and it all started in a hackathon
recap
None
start with a prototype
start with a prototype polish takes time
start with a prototype polish takes time everything takes longer
than anticipated
start with a prototype polish takes time everything takes longer
