Too often we get wrapped up on our own current projects and we are unaware of emerging technologies that may help us in the vary tasks we're involved in. The purpose of Periscope is to increase the overall awareness of available technologies and trends and to see how they are affecting peoples' lives professionally and personally.
Originally designed to get people to look up from their cubicles and be aware of the world around them Periscope is a type of open lunch and learn and is geared towards anyone interested in emerging technologies and how they're being used.
Join us August 20th where Craig Fitzpatrick, founder of Devshop.com discusses the pain associated with project management and how they tend to stem from a few fundamental bad habits:
"Delivering on time is hard. Things always seem to take longer than you think. Fires need fighting and people have to drop what they're doing to help out. Requirements change like the wind. Unqualified promises are made with too little information and risk setting the team up for failure."
The good news, he says, is that there are easy things you can do to kick these habits.
Craig has spent the last 15 years running software projects and has distilled his experiences into some simple and clear practices that can help project teams avoid runaway projects.
Following the discussion, see a demo of Devshop's latest project management application, which bakes-in some of these risk management techniques and makes them automatic.
