Wed, July 1 – Professional Business Networking Group Meetup

When: 11:30 am | Where: The Forums Building – 3700 Forums Drive, Suite 111, Flower Mound, TX

 

pbnProfessional Business Networking has been going strong for over 12 years. We average 30 – 50 people a week and we are not shy about saying, “BRING ME THE MONEY”! We understand that Networking is about giving referrals. Infact: what if you developed friendships with 10 people in the group, and all they did was give you one referral a month?!? How would that change your business?!

 

Networking is about the success, confidence, and accomplishments achieved by working together and connecting people for mutually beneficial results. PBN is committed to advancing day-to-day business efficiency and productivity, attaining goals, and realizing a balanced life. PBN gives you the power to fulfill your professional and personal dreams.

texas devopsOne certainty we can all agree on is that business needs are continuously changing, evolving and hence have driven the need for Agile methods for software development. Agile methods allow teams to adapt quickly to change and to deliver the highest value first.

 

Many organizations, in particular large enterprises, are finding that software development is no longer the bottleneck to delivering value (in the form of feature-rich software) to the end user. Instead, what many have discovered is that inter-departmental / BU processes, cultural conflicts, technical and organization debt all erode Agility by impeding the timely delivery of value.
