Team Leadership course now open
If you’re interested in avoiding Steve McConnell’s 36+7 classic mistakes of project management in your projects, I have just the course for you. Besides being a straight-perfectly evaluated course, this is just what new team leads need.
Combining enough project management philosophy with practical design techniques, attendees learn how to do project planning, and why the plan is never “done”; what kind of testing is appropriate for which project, and when each kind should occur; what it means to actually go into production and how to manage multiple versions of a software effort concurrently; how to use certain simple design techniques to enable outsourcing non-core elements of the project and how to manage those efforts; and more.
While this course won’t magically give you the experience you need to manage multi-million dollar projects, it will keep you from making those costly mistakes that can derail your project or even your career.
The course opens this July 29th at MediaTech in Haifa. Contact Belle for registration - via email Bell@mediatech.co.il, or phone 04-881-3332.
If you’re interested in having me come to your company and provide this training on-site, that option is available as well. Just send me an email to TeamLeadCourse@UdiDahan.com and we’ll work something out.
The course is based on Microsoft’s “Analyzing Requirements and Defining Microsoft .NET Solution Architectures” course number 2710 and as such counts towards your MCAD/MCSD - were you interested in certification.
