How to Run Successful Proof of Concepts (POCs)
Being able to rapidly, and successfully evaluate a technology, technique, or high level architecture is important in today's rapidly evolving technology landscape. But just what does this involve?
In this session we will look first at defining what a Proof of Concept (POC) is, and how it differs from a prototype or similar activity. Then we will dive into everything that goes around a POC to make sure that it is scoped, prepared, executed, and summarised effectively. The end result being that a POC will not run on for weeks or months, but rather, is delivered in a matter of days.
By the end of this session you will be in a position to run your own POCs irrespective of technology or platform.
