How to Hire a Developer & Manage a Technical Team

How should you go about hiring a developer to help you build your web or mobile app, and what are the best ways to avoid problems whilst your software application is being built?

This workshop will take an in-depth look at the answers to these questions!

Sadly, it's common for the founders of tech startups to experience delays, losses, stress and frustration as they collaborate with "techies" to get their software built. Find out how to survive and thrive during the process so you can achieve a positive outcome.

What You'll Learn 
This workshop is designed to address a range of management challenges as you become the CEO of your tech driven business and begin thinking about hiring and managing staff, monitoring performance, and maintaining product quality and productivity.

We'll look at ways to avoid common pitfalls and navigate issues that arise when working with tech staff, so you can run your business efficiently and harmoniously, and we'll review a range of useful management tools, and practical techniques which are proven to get positive results!

We'll also discuss:

• Key facts about technical staff, including CTOs and developers and where (and why) this can go horribly wrong!
• What to look out for when hiring developers and when to hire (and when to run!)
• Multiple approaches and options that are available to help you achieve your goals
• How to get the best from your tech staff
• The good, bad and ugly of what to expect during the hiring and management processes
