Rob gave a great explanation of how they deliver web sites to customer. I learned a lot. It very different from the way we deliver product for inside the company.
A important talk for me because it's a important part of my job. I recognized a lot of the things Rob talked about and also learned new tricks. Although the talk was a bit dry (maybe it's the topic or the setting) i still enjoyed it !
Great talk. Was very useful to hear our other people plan and manage their projects. Always very interesting to see different approaches/workflows.
I really enjoyed this talk, specifically the managing change and when to add to current bill. Thanks, Rob for sharing your process.
Audio was bad for me, which made it hard to follow.
The content itself wasn't really exciting, at least not for me since it basically describes the process which I've seen in every company I've worked with. Perhaps I've lost some exciting details or bits of advice because of the bad audio quality and the fact that I kind of lost interest halfway.
Great stuff. Good real-world experience.
Great stuff! I've been using the DISC profile model for a while and your talk had similar concepts but you broke them down into practical, real world examples of different personalities. It's funny how much of it comes down to just treating people the way they want to be treated (just like we want people to treat us like we want to be treated).
Liz, as always, did very well clarifying her specific topics to where they were easily understood and weren't dry to the point to where concentration and focus was lost.
Great talk, never thought about how people that pump themselves up do it because they haven't really gotten much recognition for what they have done. Makes sense after you explained it. Sometimes difficult people really do try ones patience, and being able to walk away or do your darndest to be nice and calm back to them is hard but does help, even though like you said there's nothing you can do to really change that person, hence they'll probably continue to act the way they do, that's the most frustrating thing in my opinion. I'll definitely be checking out the books you mentioned when the slides get emailed (didn't get a change to grab their names)
Gave me a lot to think about -- I will be listening to this talk more than once!
