Real life teaches us many lessons we can apply professionally. Sometimes, a lighthearted lesson is the one we remember most.
My experience of baking macaroons with my daughter turned out to be a memorable learning in project management. In this session the audience is invited to draw parallels between baking and software development challenges.
Just like with cooking projects, many software development project pitfalls can be avoided with sound project management and common sense:
- Preparation and timely procurement of resources
- Common language and terminology
- Smart planning and scheduling

This talk is based on a true story. It is meant to be a light-hearted and humorous presentation where the speaker takes on the role of an ill-prepared project manager jumping into a new project, making many mistakes, and making the best of it.
