Isn’t It Amazing?

Stakeholders drop software on our desk and expect us to test it with no requirements, no design and no product knowledge whatsoever. About the only clear thing is the absurd and unrealistic deadline. We are expected to bend over backward, spread magic pixie dust and heroically test quality into a product we never heard of before.

But testing in the dark is not impossible – and as Rob Sabourin (LinkedIn profile) shows it can even be a very valuable and fun experience.

Learn strategies to emerge from a murky fog into clear meaningful quality insights. Leverage unlikely sources about what stakeholder’s care about and what users really need the software to do.

Join Rob’s quest to find important bugs fast, let “testing in the dark” illuminate you!

It might be easy for the business analyst to pass the challenges of business analytics, with all of the statistics, math, algorithms, programming in strange languages like R and Python off to the data analysts and data scientists but at the same time we may find that we are passing control of the business and of our careers to someone else.

Business analytics does not work, at least it won’t work successfully, without having some kind of business problem to solve.

Despite the mythology of data mining and data analysts coming up with magic associations and insights that no one ever saw before, it doesn’t really happen that way.

The data analysts and data scientists are brilliant at applying algorithms to massive amounts of data to produce results, but someone has to understand what the organization’s problems and issues are and form the questions that the data scientists and analysts are going to answer with data.

As projects proceed through their life-cycle, they create an exhaust plume of data that is a by-product of delivery.

By pooling this data and applying advanced data analytics and AI, it can be analysed to develop predictive insights and recommendations, tailored to the phase and specific circumstances of a project.

But is project data analytics hype or reality?

Only you can decide, but what is for certain, is that it is disruptive and could have a significant impact on your career in the delivery projects and how you work.

Unfortunately, it is often shrouded in tech speak and it all sounds very daunting. Within this masterclass, James will provide a range of insights into:

• The potential impact of project data analytics.
• How to prepare yourself for the new future.
• How to get started.

Advanced project data science and analytics have the potential to change the face of project management and project delivery forever. But the project management profession is slow to catch on. Together, we can shape a new future; let’s make it happen.

Presenter: Dr James Smith (LinkedIn profile) Chief Technology Officer Projecting Success, is responsible for a wide scope, spanning full stack development through to data science and AI. The technical lead for the delivery of the project data analyst apprenticeship, a unique approach that will transform how projects are delivered; is immersed in visualisation, graph databases, Python, machine learning algorithms and regularly grapples with the challenges that exist with real world data.
