Test – Driven Development (TDD), is a software development technique that flips the testing process on its head: rather than testing after the product is done, developers build tests first and use the failure as a guide to write the necessary code.

TDD’s immediate benefit is that it gives better test coverage, but there are more beneficial second order effects that come when applying it consistently.

Moving in this step by step, feedback driven process improves the team productivity and results in a malleable software design.

In this presentation, Rex & Gio look at how to bring this mindset that focuses on iteration and feedback in all the areas of software and product development.

There is a huge rise in the technical capability and infrastructure and technology (I&T) talent outside of formal IT departments.

Untamed and untapped, this can lead to a surge in uncontrolled technical sprawl. However, the CIOs who are able to provide leadership, direction and structure for this growing talent pool can use it to enhance organizational engagement, reduce risk and increase enterprise value.

In this webinar  Darren Topham, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst will help IT leaders gain the benefits of an underutilized secret weapon.

Discussion Topics:

• Why business-led IT is the CIO’s secret weapon
• How to exert control over non-formal IT technical capabilities and I&T talent
• Enhance organizational engagement, reduce risk and increase enterprise value

This webinar will discuss the hard to quantify (but highly important) risks that can cause projects to fail to achieve their objectives.

Project risk managers tend to concentrate on cost and time from the project “cost-time-quality” triangle. Critical risks that may lead projects to fail to provide the functions which are intended can thus receive disproportionately low attention.

Using examples from the transport industry, Dr Worsley will describe a variety of reasons why a project may not achieve its objectives.

For project professionals to identify these risks will require a deeper knowledge of how their industry creates benefits and value.

Fortunately, treating the creation of a project business case as a project in its own right can assist with this. Combining risk and value management processes can also help to flush out these issues.

Presenter:  Dr David Worsley (LinkedIn profile) has worked in the railway industry for 19 years, in Network Rail, WSP and Transport for the North. He has performed roles in risk & value management, project development and strategic planning, and lectured on these topics at Newcastle University for seven years.
