Online Webinar Recorded – August 17th, 2011
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category A – $25 USD PDU
Presented by: Fissure Corporation (Rep 1026)
Improving your ability to estimate projects is a key component in completing projects within schedule and under budget.
Project estimation need not be an art – you can, as an individual or an organization, get better at estimating project cost and schedule.
There are key concepts and techniques that you can learn and apply over time that will significantly increase your ability to accurately estimate your projects.
Good project estimation requires the ability to understand the relationships between the five key project estimation variables:
Schedule,
Effort/cost,
Quality,
Size/functionality, and …
Productivity.
Learn about these relationships and how to use them in “balancing” their project objectives.
History data is a key to getting better at project estimation.
Jesse will look at “why” we don’t collect history data and “why” it is important to put the effort into not only collecting history data, but analyzing it and using it to generate better project estimates.
Presenter: Jesse Freese PMP (Linkedin profile) is well known for his interactive presentations on the topics of project management, leadership and change management at the Project Management Institute (PMI) national symposium, and other PMI events. Many of Jesse’s presentations deal not only with the “hard†side of project management, but also with the “soft†side. All of his presentations include “real-life†stories that are relevant and entertaining.
Online Webinar – September 10th 2013
Offered by ASPE (REP 2161) 1 Category A PDU – Free PDU Course ID: WS072011
When a software development professional first hears about Agile, they are often initially incredulous that this type of approach can work due to a misperception that Agile simply means “no planning.”
This belief could not be further from the truth.
Agile teams tend to plan more throughout the course of a project than a traditional approach, albeit in a different fashion than they may be accustomed to. Rather than planning once at the beginning of a project, Agile teams practice continuous planning throughout the project.
This web seminar will explore the five Levels of Agile planning, and how they help teams ensure that teams are able to benefit from what they learn over the course of their development and delivery efforts.
