STC Summit 2017

THIS SESSION HAS MOVED TO BALTIMORE 1/2.

When our boss or client says “good enough” work is good enough, shouldn’t it be good enough? Why is it a struggle to produce mediocre work when that’s what the customer wants? Yes, one day the powers-that-be will agree that all documentation must be flawless and superb. But how do we survive until that day comes?

In this session, Li-At explores reasons for why mediocre work might be okay and teaches attendees a mantra—for those times we just need to hunker down and deliver so much less than what we’re capable of…and of course, sharing and venting will be encouraged! In our cone of silence, we will close our eyes, use anonymous names, and share our travails. We will learn we are not alone in the trenches of mediocrity!*

* No, of course you’ve never worked on a project of this sort; I’m talking to the others. You’ll just be there “to observe.”
