Marmite and Toast

We will be running a half-day introduction to project management workshop for the Wired Sussex intern programme on 22nd October down in Brighton. We decided to call the workshop 'Marmite and Toast' because we feel that when it comes to project management some people love it, some people hate it, some prefer it one way and some another, just like Marmite.

The intern programme is for new graduates looking to get into the digital media industry. Our aim on the 22nd is to give interns a basic understanding of how to recognise a waterfall or an Agile project approach and to understand the strengths and challenges of the two schools of thought. The interns will be spending 6 weeks working in digi-industry companies in Brighton and as we know from our conversations with local businesses, some of these companies will be working using waterfall methods, some Agile and some a mixture of the two. Therefore it is really important that people at the start of their careers have a basic awareness of the two approaches.
