Recorded Webcast & Ebook

Duration: Up to 1.5 Category C Free (30 Min Webcast 1 hour EBook)

The Webcast: Recorded: February 24 2011

Project management is a discipline, and as such can be quite difficult without the proper training. Some project managers have had formal training (for example PMI’s PMBOK or PRINCE2) and some lucky project managers instinctively know how to initiate, manage and close projects to success. Many project managers however, are thrown into the deep end with little or no training.

At BrightWork we believe we can assist such project managers with a step-by-step, how-to guide. Our Collaborative Project Management Guide is simple and easy to follow, and describes the typical stages, steps and sub-steps involved in starting, setting up, managing and closing a typical project.

The EBook:

BrightWork has authored an easy to follow and simple to use eBook for Project Managers who are not yet formally trained in Collaborative Project Management or who may not have the time or budget to get trained.

The eBook describes the typical stages, steps and sub-steps involved in starting, setting up, managing and closing a typical project. The eBook also has a section on Project Management Leadership style.

Note, whilst experienced project managers may find the eBook to be introductory in nature, they may learn something from it and might find it an especially useful starting point for creating internal training for their new project managers.

Presented by: PushToTest and QualityTesting.Info

Learn a new testing approach that will change your world view on ‘How you do testing today’.

The taste is so powerful it can be unpleasant. The same is true about agile software development lifecycle (SDLC) methodology and testing. Between Scrum Masters, schedules, specifications, requirements, sprints, test first, and user stories, many forms of testing – including load and performance testing, stress testing, and integration testing – can get lost.

Join Frank Cohen (LinkedIn profile), Keith Cook (LinkedIn profile) and Sanjay Zalavadia (LinkedIn profile) to learn a new testing approach that will change your world view on how you do testing today. Frank will explain how to re-purpose your User Acceptance Testing (UAT) efforts to surface and solve performance bottlenecks and functional issues. These issues are normally caught after you release!

Keith and Sanjay will explain how to apply this new testing approach while managing a distributed team of software developers, testers and IT managers. They will show the best practices for test success and an easier and less costly way to manage your test efforts and enable you to do more testing in the same amount of time.

The results are a delicious chocolate taste and happy customers, partners, and employees!

Who should attend? This event is for CIOs, CTOs, software engineering managers, and operations managers.

• Recognize the warning signs that people lack trust in you and your leadership
