ACM Queue
Business Profile
Core Value Proposition
ACM Queue provides in-depth, practitioner-focused content on software engineering and computer science, including case studies and interviews that reveal lessons learned from real projects.
Target Customer
Software engineers, developers, engineering leaders, researchers, and IT professionals interested in practical insights, case studies, and expert discussions in computer science and software engineering.
Key Differentiator
Case studies are retrospective conversations led by domain experts that emphasize how decisions were made, tradeoffs, and implications, not just what was done. It combines articles, columns, interviews, and curated case studies under one publication.
Implementation Timeline
Immediate value: readers can access current articles and case studies as they are published; value from case studies is in learning the lessons and tradeoffs retrospectively, with ongoing updates via newsletters and feeds.
