"Tricks & Traps" (preceded by a brief AGM)
On their way to a conference, a group of software project managers find an abandoned open briefcase on the train. Inside is a diary
titled "Project Diary: Blunt Albatross", subtitled "Notes from the far side of sanity". Tony is nominated to read it out loud.
Join the group as the journey begins and listen in on how the mysteriously missing project manager shares the tricks and traps
which she used to overcome extreme odds to successfully deliver her software project. And finally help solve the mystery of where
she is now!
Our speaker, Tony Grout, uses this interesting presentation style to share an insight into the key practices that he has found work during
his successful career delivering both small and large software projects; covering everything from how to defend an estimate to how
to know when your technical team are kidding themselves about the end date.
 Tony Grout, brings with him over 20 years of practical experience in the software industry, driven by a deep
passion of improving the software that touches us all in our everyday lives. When he’s not being the Chief Executive Officer and Software
Product Manager for his company, fmisolutions, Tony spends his time speaking, coaching, consulting and authoring articles on how
to build better software, more effectively and at a lower cost. Tony is a leading authority on the IBM Rational Unified
Process® and has successfully deployed the process, not only within his own organisation, but within a number of major
companies, blending it with other processes and methods such as PRINCE2 and various agile methods. Tony has been
successfully delivering Software Process Improvement IT services and specific Best Practice and tool mentoring consulting
to a range of prestigious UK specific and Pan-European corporates for the past 12 years.
His primary role is to oversee engagements and to provide strategic level consultancy for companies that are implementing a change program.
