Consulting relationships with our clients are considered Lateral Relationships. A lateral relationship in management is a link between people working with the same organization without a direct level of authority over each other.

The power balance in lateral relationships is always open to ambiguity – and to negotiation!

So What is Flawless Consulting?

When a consultant gets resistance from a client, sometimes we aren’t sure whether to push the client harder or to let the issue go.

• Flawless Consulting is about addressing and managing this kind of ambiguity.
• Flawless Consulting is about methods and techniques, but the consistent message is that each act that expresses trust in ourselves and belief in the validity of our own experience is always the right path to follow.
• And    Flawless Consulting Teaches us that Each act that is manipulative or filled with pretense is always self-destructive.

Live Webinar – June 24th, 2014 1:00 – 2:00 PM EDT
Duration: 1 Hours + QA – 1 Category C Self Directed Learning PDUs
Presented by: SD Times (Software Development Times)

For years, testing has been considered a second-class citizen when it comes to the pecking order of importance in any software development endeavor.

The words, “I am a tester,” might typically get a response along the lines of sympathy card from Hallmark – “Oh, sorry to hear that. Keep plugging away, you’ll make that leap up the hierarchy at some point.”

With today’s complexity found in all areas of software, not just e-commerce, but cloud, and just about anywhere that has software acting in some way as the front end to some activity initiated by a user, testing has become a complex role that encompasses more than just an assembly-line mentality of checking the box and moving onto the next item.

Today’s testing is not your father’s Oldsmobile.

There is an “e” in testing. But it’s not the one that you are thinking of, nope. Today’s “e” is found in multiple areas that today’s testing encompasses. Today’s “e” is Performance Engineering. Today’s “e” is User Experience. Today’s “e” is Data Science.

Join SOASTA senior product evangelist Dan Boutin (LinkedIn profile, @DanBoutinSOASTA) and SD Times editor-in-chief David Rubinstein (LinkedIn profile) as they discuss how testing has changed and must continue to change to meet the needs of today’s software development landscape of agile processes and continuous deployment.

Agile PM Is Growing In Popularity

As so many organisations begin their move from waterfall to agile, common themes and challenges are starting to emerge.

Primary amongst these is that adopting agile is a cultural change.

It involves more people than just the project teams, meaning that if we want to use agile we have to be able to get the buy-in of senior managers.

Melanie has extensive experience in helping firms ‘become agile’ and will share her knowledge of the practicalities, likely successes and possible pitfalls.

Pretty much every project manager has encountered a project where the scope got out of hand and caused the project manager to have one of those difficult discussions with the customer or senior manager.

Ouch!

Once scope has creeped, there is little or nothing you can do to get the budget back in line. And if you spend a lot of time trying to gain control again, you usually spend more time and money adding to the already over budget project.

Scope creep can happen so easily.

All it takes is one person to be “nice” and agree to something that wasn’t initially promised, or somebody making a mistake that delivered something that wasn’t required or necessary. Now you’ve set a precedence on the project.

In This session  PROJECTinsight will look at the Work Breakdown Structure, or WBS and the WBS dictionary.

They will discuss its importance to managing scope and strategies to use this tool to gain an understanding of the project scope.

One of the most frequently asked questions by our students is, “how detailed should we make our WBS”?

Bonus: As a result of this session, attendees will have an opportunity to submit their WBS documents to our panel of experts.

Have this question answered and more.
