Based on our experience as IT consultants we will talk about what makes software projects successful or fail; we will introduce interesting concepts and techniques, dispel myths and challenge common assumptions. We will look at strategies and technologies of the big brands such as Amazon, Virgin, Siemens, BMW or Mastercard and will chat with industry leaders and top talent about what can be learned from these examples. We will provide inspiration and guidance to client and suppliers, management and practitioners, to help make software delivery more enjoyable and successful.
