Reflections/2nd Conference Day

Today's program was a little different as compared to yesterday for us. First we attended a lecture on another Tivoli product. After that we studied and prepared for a certification test. Then we had lunch before going for our test.

We were just going for the test for the experience as we were quite new to the products and so we were basically just "trying our luck". This was how I felt about taking the test. Mostly, the questions on the concept of the product i could answer but when it came to other types of questions, I was totally lost.

After the test, we wanted to try another kind of lecture. Yesterday, all the lectures we took were all for "beginners". However, we tried attending a lecture for "advanced" people. It was kind of a scary gamble as I thought we were going to be totally clueless about it. Apparently we were.

However, the whole session was actually a Q&A session where the advanced people using the products can ask any questions to the experts about the product. Although, we did not use the product but we tried our best to visualise what kind of problems they were facing. So, it wasn't really a waste of time. It was quite interesting as we saw how the experts tackle the problems the users faced and how they answered their questions.

On the whole, I thought that going for the advanced lectures were not as bad as we were thought as after that, we had a few questions to ask them too as the product was related to the test we did earlier on and they did manage to answer them.
