Reverse Engineering a Perfect Project

Susan Rust

Why is working with clients so messy and projects so tedious? I had a lot say on the matter with Client Wrangling and Project Management: Train Wrecks I and 2. And I do talk about reverse engineering in those presentations though only in passing so this gem is easily over-looked. Like a good fractal we're going to deep dive into the world of reverse engineering a Drupal site.

  • --What if you didn’t have to spend endless hours writing up specs?
  • --What if clients actually understood what they were asking for?
  • --What if clients actually understood what development you are providing?
  • --What if 20 mystery “must have” features didn’t appear at the 11th hour?

What's in it for me? There's a lot of cool stuff to hear! Come to this session and have your own “AHA!” moment. I’m a good speaker and it’ll be a fun and lively hour. This will save you hours of drama and end-of-project angst. You will find this valuable if:

  • --You are responsible for process & projects
  • --You have to wrangle clients
  • --You do design/UX
  • --You run a business and want more margins
  • --You do sales and everyone hates you

Don’t just send your PM unless you give them the authority to change process! (And they should have this authority by the way, trick statement).

As always, my sessions are loads of fun, packed with information, interactive and full of "DOH!" moments. Rave reviews from NYC Camp, not to be missed.
