About the talk
Construx consultants work with literally hundreds of software organizations each year. Among these organizations a few stand out as being truly world class. They are exceptional in their ability to meet their software development goals and exceptional in the contribution they make to their companies’ overall business success. Do world class software organizations operate differently than average organizations? In Construx’s experience, the answer is a resounding “YES”. In this talk, award-winning author Steve McConnell reveals the technical, management, business, and cultural secrets that make a software organization world class.

Can this presentation be video recorded and re-broadcast?
I’d love to attend, but unfortunately the timing conflicts with another class.
Thanks.
@Steven
Yes – I believe the plan is to record this presentation. If that happens, we’ll post the video on this site afterward.
