Have you ever worked with a client or team member and said “I don’t understand what they’re thinking”, or, even worse “I could do their job”. The overwhelming majority of successful WordPress projects are the result of skilled professionals across multiple roles working in partnership towards a common goal: making something great. It’s not always easy, or clear what purpose these roles serve or how they should collaborate; this can lead to personal & professional turmoil, and can kill great ideas before they even launch.
This talk is recommended for anyone that has worked with teams in the past, or is looking to make the transition from individual freelancer to an agency or corporation. We’ll discuss how to identify, and avoid common points of frustration when working with multiple disciplines and personalities, and examine strategies for engineers & creative professionals to make communicating with stakeholders & executives easier and more productive.
