The Power of „no“ - and why it helps your team

If you are not able to say no, then it does not only affect you - even when you‘re not in a leadership role. It affects your environment too. So what to do, if you have a hard time?

In this session I want to emphasize the importance of saying no. To show the positive effects on oneself, the people around and also the projects. It always means saying „yes“ to something else.
Additionally I also want to give communication tools that can be used in the daily business, where politics plays a crucial role. And to be frank? Politics in business can be the hardest. So much to think about!
I want to give you some guidelines to walk through the business and project jungle, meeting your own and your stakeholders expectations without others to feel rejected and throwing stones in your way.

Implementing Self Service BI into organizations

Is it suffice to install my self service tools that we can say, we make self service BI? Or what do I have to do else?

When implementing Self Service BI into an organization, a lot of tasks pop out. And not all of them are technical ones. What do I have to think of. How do I do this? How do I decide which tool is the right one for me? This session will tell you some guide and tips how to implement not only the tool (on the example Power BI) but also how to handle the people later using it.

Let's talk more about Requirements Engineering

Requirements are amongst the most important factors in successfully concluding a project. Not knowing what to do or in the worst case accidentally doing the wrong things, could lead to project failure.

When asked, customers will likely be sure what to do. But to be honest - they often don’t know what they want. Almost always specific solutions are requested, even the problem has not been determined correctly. You can’t rely on the words of the customer alone.

Data projects are especially tricky, because unlike process driven projects data is abstract to most customers.

So which tools can provide help with digging into the needs and problems of the customer? Who do you talk to? What are the required steps for a solution-minded requirement analysis?

This session will provide a quick insight into holistic requirements engineering on data-focused projects.

Problematic projects and what we can learn from them

At conferences we talk a lot about doing the right things and what this right things could be. But even though everyone made experiences with problems in projects - nobody I know was blessed with projects where everything was going perfect -, we talk rarely about failures and what to do, when everything is falling apart.
Thinking about my previous career and what experiences I made, I learned the most with a big gap in projects or situations, that were problematic. I didn't want to go through those failures again, so I learned what to do to prevent them.
But it is not neccessary that everyone has to go through the same failures, we can and should learn from each other.
This is the reason, why I want to talk about my worst projects in an interactive session and what concrete learnings I could make, hoping it encourages you to do the same.
You didn't found a good solution of your problems in projects in the past? This is also fine, let's discuss what could have been done. Maybe someone with a similar situation is there and did find a way to handle it.

So let's talk about our "Worst Of" projects and how to prevent them for us and for other.
