Lunch & Learn: Practical Project Management

ManawaTech Events

2026-11-12 12:30

Join Susan Philp for a practical lunchtime session that looks at Project Management Basics. We will be upstairs in the Mezzanine at Hope Kitchen – bring your lunch or grab something from the Cafe downstairs.This session is deliberately designed for two groups who need each other more than they often realise:People who are running (or have been handed) a projectSponsors, steering group members, and leaders who manage or oversee the people delivering projectsWe’ll look at the common “Project Management Trap” that catches many New Zealand organisations — capable people given projects with limited structure or support, and leaders who don’t always have a clear picture of what good delivery looks like day to day.You’ll leave with:A clearer shared language between those doing the work and those accountable for the outcomePractical ways to create clarity early (scope, realistic timelines, what “done” actually means)Simple questions sponsors and leaders can ask that make a real differenceA quick Project Health Check you can use straight awayNo heavy frameworks. Just plain-spoken, usable guidance for real projects.

Does your data leak? what devs need to know about data governance

Palmerston North Software Developers | Meetup

2026-11-26 17:30

Something we don't often consider when writing code is the full data lifecycle: provenance, consistency, quality, ownership, permissions, compliance, deletion. We normally just dump it in a database and use it. Heather Todd from Yorb has Opinions! (that are well worth listening to). Come along and hear the bigger picture. Thanks to Objective for hosting and sponsoring pizza. Please RSVP so we know how much pizza to buy. We usually walk to Aquaba or Brew Union around 6:30-7pm for the social half of the meeting.
