SCM's dream for a future employee/colleague - Lars Bendix

In the week before the summit, I will teach a 1-ECTS course on SCM to students at Parma University. I have no illusion that in the 27 hours of work in total from the student (between reading, lectures, exercises and lab work) I will be able to convey more than a glimpse of what SCM is. To bring them to the level of being SCM-aware in their future jobs, so they don't create too much confusion and disaster.

In the eight weeks after the summit, I will teach a 7.5-ECTS course on SCM to students at Lund University. I hope that in the 200 hours of work in total from the student (between reading, lectures, exercises, lab work and project work) I can give the student a solid base and some introductions to the more cool and exciting stuff in SCM. Some of them (getting a passed grade) will need some looking after and additional experience, but could become your SCM-friend on a team (as he understands - sort of - what you are talking about). Some of them (getting top grade) should be able to serve directly as a configuration managers right hand - or even implement (slowly and step-by-step) SCM in a company that has had no prior configuration manager. And then there are the in-betweens.
