Geek Project Management @ Refresh Edinburgh

Apr 6th, 2007 by Meri in Conferences, Management, Presentations

I’ve just done my talk on Geek Project Management at today’s Refresh Edinburgh event. It seemed to be fairly well received (fingers crossed anyway!). Some of the content was pretty similar to my BarCampLondon2 presentation, but I’ve done a fairly significant rework on it so I think it’ll be a lot easier to take away some immediately useful tools.

If you’re interested in seeing the slides, then here you can find them in Powerpoint and PDF form.

However, you’ve also made me think about applying PM to my own personal projects.

[...] I was next up, feeling a little out of place since I had no product to display, just some thoughts on why project management can be useful to geeks too. At least some folks seemed to like it though, so hopefully it was useful [...]
