You are in good company. TechLauncher is all about turning dreams into reality.
…some outcomes here
Projects are chosen and teams are formed at a Team Formation Dropin.
Teams of 5-7 should be formed, appropriate to the size of the project
Highly experienced industry practitioners and TechLauncher facilitators have prepared some notes you can use to familiarise yourself with the vocabulary, concepts, and ultimate enduring knowledge of a collaborative computing professional.
TechLauncher is about delivering value that is recognised by your peers and professionals. You also develop a team process that enables you to do that predictably and repeatably.
We measure value as a balance between project outputs and governance
TechLauncher projects are real. These are not canned synthetic textbook exercises. You are responsible for defining and delivering the solution.
We remove as many constraints as possible:
most of your time is spent out of the classroom doing your project.
You, your peers, your client, your tutor, and your mentors should all have a voice. Respectfully managing a diversity of perspectives and expertise is a key to success.
We expect all TechLauncher members to be professional and respectful.
There are no specified deliverables - this is negotiated between the group, clients and TechLauncher.
More than 20% of effort on Governance is TOO MUCH! Aim for 10-15%.
(Project Audits), peer-driven 360 processes, are used to evaluate the actual work done.
All stakeholders are involved in a project audit through the Many Eyes Process.
Tutors mentor students at meetings before and after audit weeks in a cycle of planning, acting, and reflecting.
You will carefully learn new skills, research opportunities in relation to this, and showcase the outcomes by producing an incredible portfolio.
