This is a tongue in cheek session about web projects potentially going wrong because of
- Promises that can never be fulfilled.
- Demands that are outrageous.
- Specifications, which are so vaporous that they almost don't exist.
- Things that will never happen... except when they do.
- Nodding at meetings although all alarms are sounding.
We will amongst other things and in no particular order answer the following questions
- Why physical meetings are an 80% waste of time.
- Why moving servers is never, ever painless.
- Why not to count hours.
- Why customer's prioritizing is irrational.
- Why journalists shouldn't write and graphic designers shouldn't design.
- Why projects never end... ever!
We will present people and situations, which we all recognize and loathe, but also provide ways to cope with them... we hope. If nothing else works there's always booze and pills. Nah, jut kidding! We will truly try to help you geth through the situations that we all wind up in from time to time.
Will be co-presented with Steven Snedker.
