Presented by Tim Lister
Join Tim Lister as he discusses how we all talk about “best practices” but few organizations actually practice them. Tim believes that patterns are stronger than best practices. they are the habits, the decision practices, the corporate culture, and the unstated rules, that dominate office life. Participate by looking at your own organization’s patterns. if positive, how can you perpetuate them across all projects? if negative, how can you break the habit?
