No matter the size of your team most developers work with users or stakeholders to develop project requirements. Making your way through competing requests to get to a good design takes a lot of time and skill. In this talk, Derek will use what he has learned as a parent and humorously apply it to product design and requirement gathering. You will learn about effective methods for getting agreement on product features and interface design. You will learn ways of discovering what stakeholders really need to ensure delivery of a great product. These are valuable skills that can help you create better applications, become more valuable to your team, and advance your career. You might even pick up a parenting tip or two.

Great talk Derek. I really like the similarities and application for the lessons you learned parenting and how it applies to project management.

I also liked some of the images you used. I would consider creating slides for competing images from what you learned parenting and an image to contrast it with for project management.

Great talk!
