Abstract

The web has become a pervasive part of our everyday lives. We use it in our offices, in our homes and on the go. It powers everything from Facebook to Banking and increasing government services can only be accessed online. In this talk we will discuss the consequences of failing to anticipate high user demand and how software organisations prepare to ensure that their big launch doesn’t become a massive flop.
