How long will testing take?
Those are good questions, but those questions are often hard to answer.

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.

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.

Agile project management can bring significant value to an organization’s software projects. But it can also bring a great deal of misunderstanding and confusion for upper level managers used to the governance stage gates of Waterfall.
How do you position Agile to upper level managers when they are looking for the certainty of dates and dollars:
When is it going to be done?
How much is it going to cost?
This presentation suggests ways of identifying that combination of scope, schedule, and cost that allows the team to deliver the benefits of Agile while still providing managers with the reliable estimates they want.
Presenter: Dave Caccamo PMP, (LinkedIn profile) has three decades of experience in engineering, economics and project management. With a BSc from the United States Naval Academy and a Masters of Economics from North Carolina State University, Dave has demonstrated time and again his ability to make complex business and engineering concepts understandable to executives, managers and technicians through his fundamental modeling of subject matter.
