SUMMARY:A Proven Software Development Process for the Non-Technical Entrepreneur - GateWay CC
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to provide entrepreneurs with a blueprint for successful software development and technology implementation. The unfortunate reality is that quality software development and technology implementation is not readily available to most startups and small business entrepreneurs. Great entrepreneurs are met with small thinkers when searching for a development team via online freelancer sites\, or the recommendation of a friend’s cousin who may code on weekends. Or they are faced with development companies that impose business models that do not align with the entrepreneurial spirit. \nSpeaker: Vincent Serpico \nRegister Now
