High performing companies already know that superior software estimation is not only possible, but essential to gaining and keeping a competitive edge while simultaneously helping to protect IT investments and drive positive project outcomes.

One way to enable proven best practices with the estimation discipline is to formalize an Estimation Center of Excellence (ECoE).

While most organizations have unique features and challenges, establishing such a center has certain foundational elements.

A well-thought out launch and execution can dramatically increase transparency, collaboration and value across an enterprise or division.

In this session, J.D. Ottenbreit, QSM‘s Commercial Director of Professional Services, will provide an executive level webinar to cover some of the practical steps, pitfalls and critical success factors involved with bringing to life a truly successful, sustainable ECoE.

The webinar is based on real-life lessons learned and case studies from QSM– a recognized industry leader and pioneer in the field of software estimation and control.
