Running a Pragmatic Project
presented by Andy Hunt
*Monday, September 20, 2004 * *6:30 PM - 9:00 PM* *Nortel Networks* 4001 E. Chapel Hill-Nelson Highway Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
Abstract:
Bad software and inappropriate development practices burn up time, money,customers, and careers -- about $60 billion a year worth in the U.S. alone. It's time we get some of that money back! This presentation explains how to establish a firm foundation for software development based on The Pragmatic Starter Kit series of books. It offers basic, common-sense practices applicable in all software development environments. We'll then discuss selected real-world, pragmatic practices needed for modern software development that help you get your project out the door faster and easier.
