Off the Agenda


Off the record


Tran - The Developer

dcds • He speaks several programming
languages, some from various legacy
systems.
• Considers himself a good developer,
taking the time to learn new
techniques and undertake his own
professional development, the latest
JavaScript.
• Is constantly under pressure to delivery more with less.
• Now rarely develops anything outside a framework. mainly to
reduce time.


Joanne - The Project Manager

• Her focus is on the project, it’s
scope, resources and budget.
Nothing else is important, unless
you can get the client to change
them.
• Her mantra is “Pick two from Fast,
Cheap or Good”. That’s how we
can deliver.

• If it’s not documented, then it’s not in her view. And does not
exist. Simple. The world is not grey, it’s black and white.
• She regularly performs resource miracles.


Nik - The Business Owner

• Is very aware of products and
services he is responsible for and
their quality and customer appeal.
• His focus is on the long term
profitability of the business not
short term gains.
• Doesn’t see the need to change a
system if there is no ROI.
• Sometimes in business you have to discount aspects of you
customer base verses profitability.
• Technology is just a tool.

Peter - Govt CEOs / IT Managers

• His focus is on the dept vision and over
all mission as well as avoiding annoying
the Ministerial staff too much.
• “The general public are just people that
don’t really understand that we are the
caretakers that will look after them.
We do know best, they just need to
think they have some input. “

• He has a reliance on the people and experts around him.
Doesn’t like to have to second guess the situation.
• Ensures adequate resources for dept at cost of other projects.
