As you hang up the phone after talking to your wife, you know you have to prepare an important dinner. You're not really motivated, neither sure where to find the right ingredience. But in fear for your wife you never consider objecting. Some time later, almost forgetting the task, you head for the grocery store. Since you're no expert on cooking you ask for help. Heading back home you decide to call a couple of friends to help you - since you really have more important things to do. When your wife comes home she stops suddenly with a strange look on her face; "What!? I can't serve rabit! Did you forget that we are having The Animal Foundation?". I respond weakly; "They don't like animals?". "They don't like killing them, you idiot!

This talk covers the challenges we meet from someone defines a strategy and approves developing an IT-system to when someone else actually starts implementing it. Most of these challenges do not require "rocket science", so why does it happen over and over again?

To finish of Tom will also show us a totally different approach where companies can meet these challenges and save months and millions, keep momentum and committment and gain tons of value!

NB! This talk should also be interesting for developers who hasn't been involved in the stages before implementation, since you're the one they'll blame at the end.

Experience from software development projects

IT-managers, Project Managers, Technical Managers or other experienced people who have been involved somewhere in the process from where a strategy is defined to the implementation of the IT-system starts.
