• Uldis Karlovs-Karlovskis from Accenture will talk about “Configuration Management is evil!”
  (Language – Latvian)
  Now in Latvia there is a time when IT specialists has started to grow like mushrooms after the rain, but the biggest companies are grabbing new and new foreign projects. It seems like experience is growing, but worry about project’s deadline is still everyday. Novelty in these situations are the excuses we hear – it shows that there has been “a lack of configuration management”. But for another project – “too much configuration management”. The logic is not understandable both for themselves and the client, but that’s just the way it seems to be. It’s definitely evil!

  About me: “I started to work with configuration management when no one exactly didn’t know what could I do at all. I have done some coding, testing, configuration and did some talking, managed some things… As a result – I didn’t learned much till the end, but the management leaders like it. And they like it for already 8 years – isn’t that strange?”
