[Total Life Management] Web-based integrated...
by Roman Zhovtulya
Agenda Not Set Yet Room Not Assigned
This session is an attempt to not only offer some fresh approaches to time/goal management, but also to engage in a discussion about new ideas and look at some thought-provoking concepts for total life management, that are made possible by a holistic approach to web-based application development nowadays. We'll start by reviewing some classic approaches and theories for time and project management (GTD, books "The Time Trap", "One minute manager", etc), discussing goal-based time/project management and speculating about the future trends. Then we'll take a look at some popular web-based applications for time/goal/project management and compare them to several integrated, "all-in-one" solutions. At the end, we'll engage in a lively discussion on what the future for these approaches and applications will be and how to best use them. Some of the ideas/points will be quite controversial with far-reaching implications (security, privacy, etc), so be sure to arm yourself with some real-life questions, examples and concerns. Hopefully, we'll have an intellectually-stimulating discussion where everybody will learn something new and get a fresh perspective on how to make the most of their potential.

Roman has co-founded WebServiceCenter Group in early 2004 and has since been responsible for strategic management and IT. He received a Master's Degree in "Communications and Media Engineering" from Offenburg University (Germany) and has established and managed a number of technology initiatives there.

Fantastic Features

PRIORITIZING PRODUCT FEATURES BY RELATIVE COST. If you have more features in your product than can possibly be developed by the release date, you'll want to make sure that the most valuable features are developed first. One possible approach is to prioritize the features in "bang for the buck" order. But assessing the relative profitability of features can be difficult. This interactive workshop and group discussion explores methods for calculating the relative costs of individual features, in order to make feature prioritization simple and manageable.

He is the founder of Agile Unlimited, a company in Northern California that focuses on helping organizations enhance their effectiveness.

Create Influence, On Demand
by Bernie Maloney
Agenda Not Set Yet Room Not Assigned
Who do you know who might know someone who could SEE a benefit in CLEARLY sharing their ideas? Or, do you simply wish you could persuade stormtroopers these are not the 'droids they're looking for? Would you like to influence how others perceive you when networking, leading teams or interviewing? In this interactive (that means audience participation!) session we’ll cover: * Why this works * Simple, verbal techniques to build rapport fast * Practice on how to build and break rapport (helpful to keep discussions concise!) Come learn some simple, yet subtle techniques to shift communication effectiveness by a factor of 5 or more. And while participants are advised away from initial use with stormtroopers, VCs, angels, executives and clients are fair game.

I lead. For fun. As an intra*preneur, I've grown businesses from break even to beyond $100M. My teams have delivered award winning retail products; more times than many may believe. I thrive in ambiguous environments & love bringing order out of chaos, turning strategies into results.
