The way to become a project owner
Our teams in Digital Natives build software products. Most of our clients are committed dreamers, who essentially focusing about how their idea becomes to reality. In an ideal world these clients are able to provide a necessary amount of information to a developer team, but in reality every participant working under serious time and financial pressure. Some times the client naturally have a lack of competency in many technology related questions and they need help on these fields. Based on our experience, it is crucial to offer not only the technological and project management knowledge, but extend their mindset in a way how a product owner manage their own idea. But how we achieve this goal?
In my presentation I am going to show how we can simplify these processes and how we able to share the product ownership between the client and the team members. We also will give some understanding about our working methods such as role definitions and Holacracy approach.
About Szabolcs Farkas
Curiosity. If I have to describe myself in one word, I would use this term before everything else. This is what illustrates best my researcher and investigative approach to the world. My passion and dedication to work with new ideas and experiments continuously ensures the drive and challenge that makes me a successful entrepreneur and leader of startup companies operating on many different fields.
As a software developer I had the opportunity to understand how digital systems work. After many years of programming I started to build my own companies and started to work as a CEO. With this step, my interest turned into how people works, not just as productive resources, but as well as living organisations. A couple of years ago, I started to learn comparative religion and philosophy and I also extend my focus on certain fields of psychology. I hope this knowledge offers me deeper understanding about how we develop our environment and what effects influence our life.
