Reduce Dynamics project risk – video on demand

Reduce Dynamics project risk – video on demand

We had over 200 registrants for our session on Thursday 22nd June on how to reduce Dynamics project risk. Louis Geller presented a whole range of learnings and hints gleaned over his long career in multinational IT firms which spanned development, delivery, sales, marketing and general management – experience right across the board.

As with many things, much of the content was reminders of common sense approach which many of us fail to stick to when under time, budget and peer pressure. The central message was :

“Stick to the original business benefits unless there is an absolutely compelling reason to alter the scope”
