Webinar Replay Now Available: Successful Estimating Processes Using the SLIM API

If you were unable to attend our most recent webinar, Successful Estimating Processes Using the SLIM API, a replay is now available.

How do best in class development organizations achieve maximum return on investment from their estimation programs? By leveraging the SLIM API for integrations between estimation tools and detail-oriented products, development teams are able to simplify estimation processes and broaden the estimation program user base. Presented by Carl Engel of IBM Global Services, Scott Lancaster of State Street, and Larry Putnam, Jr. of QSM, this webinar explores two successful implementations of the SLIM API between third party tools and the SLIM Suite.

Webinar Replay Now Available: Shifting to Agile Methods - The Keys for Long-Term Success

If you were unable to attend our webinar, Shifting to Agile Methods - The Keys for Long-Term Success, a replay is now available. 

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 and QSM’s Larry Putnam, Jr. explore these two keys to success.  

Specifically, they cover:

Q&A Highlights from "Maximizing Value Using the Relationship between Software Size, Productivity, and Reliability"

During the webinar I recently presented, "Maximizing Value Using the Relationship between Software Size, Productivity, and Reliability," I received quite a few interesting questions. Here are the highlights:

Do you see the same behaviors in Agile projects as those you presented in this webinar?

In the work for my presentation, I did not look at Agile projects separately.  I was looking at overall trends, breaking things down by application type rather than by development methodology.

Webinar Replay: Maximizing Value Using the Relationship between Software Size, Productivity, and Reliability

A replay is now available for the webinar, "Maximizing Value Using the Relationship between Software Size, Productivity, and Reliability," presented by Paul Below.

Now, more than ever, software projects need to efficiently deliver reliable software. However, many development plans unintentionally guarantee a less than optimal result. This presentation describes how to maximize value by establishing minimum acceptable reliability and how to take advantage of the apparent paradox between software size and productivity through appropriate selection of team size and schedule duration.

Replay Now Available for "Best in Class SLIM Estimation Processes for Package Implementations"

If you missed our webinar, Best in Class SLIM Estimation Processes for Package Implementations, a replay is now available.

To be able to estimate package implementations, we need to be able to size them and support productivity assumptions with relevant data. Presented by Keith Ciocco, this webinar demonstrates package implementation sizing processes and how to calibrate SLIM to package implementation project trends.

As Vice President of QSM, Keith has more than 23 years of experience working in sales and customer service, with 15 of those years spent at QSM. Keith’s primary responsibilities include managing business development, existing client relations, customer retention and response.
