Project management consulting and training for social change organisations.
Today I took the bus to Brixton and spent the morning talking about two of my favourite subjects — risk management and iterative and incremental development — with the web team at CAFOD!
Branislava (pictured below, sorting index cards) and her team are about to undertake a couple of very large projects and invited me over to talk about how they might manage the associated risks by delivering each project incrementally (i.e. bit by bit) and iteratively (i.e. with time set aside to revise and improve the bits).
Sure — all projects involve risk (i.e. uncertain events or conditions that, should they occur, will have a positive or negative effect on the project's objectives), but the days of developing an entire system (or systems) with "big bang" integration testing at the end are OVER, right? Well they should be.
Thanks for having me, CAFOD!
