Presented by : Accurev and QSM
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C – Free PDU

Changes to the software development process, such as moving toward Agile methods, must demonstrate sustainable results over time versus just short-term wins. There are two keys to reaching long-term success that should be considered up front the new process must be repeatable and measurable.

In this session, AccuRev’s Chris Lucca (LinkedIn profile) and QSM’s Larry Putnam Jr (LinkedIn profile) will explore these two keys to success.

Specifically, they will cover:

• The state of software development projects yesterday versus today and the impact to the software development process
• The techniques and tools that can help a team to build a process that is repeatable and scalable, even across a distributed team
• Which metrics and measurement processes are important to measuring the results and improvements of implementing repeatable and scalable processes
• How to use metrics to estimate project schedules, resources and reliability, and monitor project progress and forecast completion
• Ways to benchmark the results at project completion for time to market, cost performance and reliability
• …. all of which provide the business case for continued investments in technology and repeatable and scalable processes
