Let’s burst our bubble: projects, products, estimates and forecasts.
In every community event for the past 10 years, there has been a presentation about the software estimation process. Discussing whether estimates are an art or a science, best practices, why they go wrong and presenting interesting ideas such as the no-estimates movement. There seems to be an abundance of information on the subject, yet, the debate is far from over. Software estimation, despised by many, is one of the most contentious subjects, constantly coming up in conversations between developers, project managers, product managers, clients, budget holders and stakeholders.
This talk is split in 3 sections.
In the first section, I will discuss the nature of modern application development and in particular two approaches: project-centric and product-centric application development. I tie those into the modern B2B purchase journey that represents enterprise application development so that participants get an understanding of the end to end process: from budget setting to application conception to delivery to decommission and how this influences everyone involved.
In the second section, I draw from my experience being part of the Digital Solutions team in FFW where I am picking up technical pre-sales activities for new projects. Part of the job is to provide budget indication during the RFP process, the worst possible moment because it’s the moment we have the least amount of information about the work at hand. I will present some of the techniques and best practices I have used to quantify effort, manage risk and minimise uncertainty.
Finally, in the third section, I will dive into suggestions for aspiring agency teams that would like to encourage their clients to shift from project-centric development into product-centric development. Specifically I will discuss the behaviours that should be adopted internally to instil trust to the client, changes that need to be made for successful delivery and early warning signs to evaluate if you are on the right track.
At the end of this talk participants will get an understanding of:

Making WordPress faster and greener
Slow WordPress websites tend to be that way because of a few pitfalls that cause your server to do far more work than needed to generate your pages.
You can easily spend more money on servers, but that’s not only bad for your pocket it’s also bad for the planet!
Learn how to easily avoid these pitfalls and get anything between 2 and 10 times more speed from your existing hardware.
Docs or it didn’t happen
Your code can be all rainbows and unicorns, cutting and shining, but if there’s no documentation, does it even exist? Documentation can make or break your open-source project. Don’t believe me? Let me tell you a story or three about writing and managing documentation for the largest open-source CMS community. The WordPress documentation.

Smart, Sassy, or Sweet: Make Your Content Speak in Your Brand Voice
You’re already producing useful content that educates and informs. But if you “remove the label” (or the logo in the header), will people know that content is yours? If the answer is “Not sure”, then you need to strengthen your brand’s voice.
People want to connect with content that has a strong personality. This makes building your brand voice a key part of your content’s differentiation strategy. And that’s not just relevant for blog posts – the best brands will make you chuckle, feel inspired, or cared for even with the modals, buttons, and form descriptions across the site. In this session, learn how defining brand tone of voice is much more than just throwing a bunch of adjectives on a whiteboard and seeing what sticks.
You’ll learn specific exercises that will help your team make sense of the madness and create an actionable voice blueprint that works in real life.
