Excellent talk. You made the boring topics of project management less boring. Lots of really practical tips, which is very nice, because they can immediately be applied.
Getting a website out of the door

a good talk with some good general insights into PM techniques. Unfortunately, the company I work for uses almost exactly the same techniques so I didnt learn a great amount. Did like the idea of trading features tho. Main disappointment is that i would love to have heard Rob doing a more technical talk about ZF.

Great talk.
I've taken a lot of this back with me, simple ideas, like printing designs on nice paper, and due dates in client emails! brilliant!

Excellent, insightful talk from a speaker who clearly knows his onions.
I was particularly impressed by Rob's sparse slide set and natural presentations style. Just a shame his mic was feeding back throughout.

A good talk with plenty of interesting tips, especially regarding emails. Already started applying some of the items you mentioned - like having a clear and concise subject and including a short summary on my larger emails.
