Presented at WPCampus 2017 - Buffalo, NY Finding it tough to translate your ideas into developer-speak? Not even sure where to start? Working with developers doesn’t have to be a headache! This presentation covers key strategies that will make your relationships with developers (or IT teams) flow like a well-oiled machine. You’ll leave with tips and technical vocabulary to help you become a communication rockstar and bring everyone to the same page. Stakeholders will know exactly what to expect, you’ll have your vision brought into the world, and developer(s) will know exactly what to build. Some new tools and workflows might even make running a project fun. Imagine that! We’ll even throw in some tricks for finding great talent. It’s probably closer than you think! https://2017.wpcampus.org/schedule/making-dream-reality-technical-guide-non-technical-folks/
