We’ve all heard that the biggest challenges offer the best rewards. But we don’t always know how to tackle the large complex challenges that come our way. As a software engineer, I believe that learning how to break down projects and tasks is the most important skill we can have. In this talk, I will discuss some strategies that I have used to analyze, organize, and manage the projects that I have worked on. But don’t worry if you’re not a software engineer, these strategies can be applied to more than just software, including your personal and career goals.
