Due to the success of our first online webinar “AEGIS Approvals Demystified” in September 2020, we are pleased to announce that we are hosting a series of monthly webinars in 2021.
Webinar 1:
Wednesday 9th December – 12.30 – 13.30
Title: Vicious circle of Technical Debt – How to Avoid, Get out!
Most projects are either delayed or delivered < 100% completeness! The challenge is to manage the delivery commitments and ensure the decisions taken by the team are not only focused on short term gains or fixes. Many teams go down the route of focusing only on the delivery commitments of time and take crucial decisions that have an adverse impact on the long-term delivery goals. One bad decision pushes the team onto the vicious circle of technical debt, and very quickly, the small issues snowball into a huge problematic project! Sounds familiar!? Well, we will share some insights and best practices in V&V that provide preventive mechanisms to reduce and avoid technical debt! Nothing out of the world, but simple, fundamental principles with a bit of automation and enforcement that busy projects usually forget to adhere to!
