*+ "Managing Productivity with Proper Staffing Strategies" Webinar presented by John Bryant

In this economy, we have to do more with less. We want to maximize productivity and minimize costs and defects. The problem is, the way to achieve maximum efficiency is counter-intuitive. We always think more effort will produce more product. The fact is, often less effort is needed. Presented by industry expert, John Bryant, this webinar explains and proves the correct way to maximize productivity while at the same time minimizing cost and defects. It can be done. We'll show you how.

John Bryant has over forty years of IT experience with the last several using the SLIM Suite of products to improve the software development process by properly estimating, tracking, and analyzing software development efforts. His experience includes project management, teaching and mentoring from initial project evaluation and planning through construction.
