The books tell us that IT project management is about planning, organizing, leading and controlling IT projects.
It’s owning a product in its entirety and maximising the value it creates. Product owners supervise the product backlog and ensure it is up-to-date in terms of priorities and matches the product’s vision.
The World is changing, and cybersecurity threats are rapidly increasing. Everything relies more and more heavily on technology; therefore, digital security is becoming more crucial than ever.
Data analytics is the future of everything, because it is everywhere. Companies and individuals use data to increase productivity, optimize processes, make decisions, predict trends, recommend products and much more.
It’s a set of tasks, knowledge, and techniques required to identify business needs and provide solutions to issues in enterprises.

A track for mentees with experience in IT
Ladies with experience that want to “step up their game” in the IT field: boost their skillset, while knowing the basics already: likely finished our previous tracks, have done some work in the IT field or professionals that want to move to the IT field from a non-IT related position.
Advanced mentorship track with the focus on more in-depth topics concerning everyday practices - things that can enhance existing skills and tune up daily work processes presented in an “hands on” manner. Participant engagement is expected.
Topics covered may be relevant to non-IT field participants, but are especially valuable for those working closely with tech / software products.
Track lead - Lota Plezere
The IT area is broad; our mentors are experts from different tech areas and cover a wide range of roles - product development, project management, development, testing, UX, IT admin and others
