​First big project? Keep calm, adapt and learn

​​You thought you’d feel quickly comfortable in your first dev job… but what happens when the project is huge and already halfway done?

​In this talk, I’ll share what it’s like to join a big ongoing project for the first time, and how to work through it when everything feels out of control. From handling legacy code to managing your imposter syndrome, this talk focuses on real difficulties we all face and tips to overcome them.

​You’ll hear honest feedback on how to adapt quickly and find your place in a complex team environment. There are no easy answers or miracles, just lessons learned the hard way, and some good news: you’re not alone.

​Invisible Work in Project Delivery - Why You're Always Behind Schedule

​​Ever felt like you’re constantly behind schedule, even though you’re coding all day?

​In outsourcing environments, delivery delays often aren’t caused by bad code or lazy developers - they’re caused by invisible work. This is the untracked, underestimated, or misunderstood effort that eats away at your timeline: clarifying vague requirements, preparing test data, resolving blockers across time zones, handling last-minute scope creep, endless feedback cycles, or even just waiting on access permissions.

​In this talk, we’ll dissect what invisible work looks like in real outsourced software projects. You’ll learn how to spot it early, how to reduce it through better workflows and hand-offs, and how to communicate its impact with clients and stakeholders. Expect real war stories, delivery patterns, and tactical advice to stop being blindsided by things “nobody planned for”.

​Because in real life, what kills delivery isn’t the hard work - it’s the hidden work
