About my presentation

Title: Software Development and Skill Requirements of Successful IT Professionals
Speaker: Er. Kumar Simkhada
Abstract: With the fast changes in consumer trends and user needs, enterprises require speedy, cost effective, and reliable software to implement their business plans. Moreover, such software need to be highly flexible for future modifications. This presentation highlights the different kinds of software widely used in enterprises. In particular, it differentiates corporate-specific software with package software and points out the areas Nepalese IT professionals can take advantage of. It also discusses the different phases of software development. I point out the tasks carried out in each phase and showcase their importance for the project and for business sustainment. Also, highlighted are the capabilities required of IT professionals and project managers. Pre-requisites for IT engineers include expertise in different programming languages and intuition to detect bugs. Furthermore, to be successful, it is necessary to fully understand user requirements and to foresee potential changes the user may demand. Other capabilities include logical thinking, communication skills, ability to make right decisions, and ability to execute tasks according to plan.
