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.

EP22: Remote Interviewing
We strongly believe that organisations with a successful future are those that embrace remote working practices. Not only does this address some of the challenges posed by the current Covid-19 crisis, but overall, allows organisations tap into a wider talent pool, work with a wider client base and most importantly make for better work life balance. In this episode we discuss remote interviewing with 5 super interesting guests…. We have recently co-written a blog-post on remote interviewing and my business partners at Equal Experts have extensively discussed remote working practices in their free remote working playbook. But writing about it, is one thing, hearing it from the horse’s mouth is different altogether. In this Burn Up Episode, we chat with 5 guests, all with extensive experience in remote interviewing. We talk about whether remote interviewing works, whether it’s a stop-gap measure or there to stay, and how to be successful at it, as interviewer and candidate alike. Our Guests We’ve got an excellent cast of guests on this episode. Please feel free to get in touch with any of them if you are looking for an engagement, want to know more about remote working, work with an organisation that is interested in improving their remote working practices or simply want to say hello… In this episode you’ll meet; Becky Smith (https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckysmith2/) recruiter and people manager, and Neha Datt who works as product consultant, has co-written the remote working playbook (https://remote-working.playbook.ee/) and runs a webinar on remote working best practices.
