Designed for senior decision makers that manage or provide oversight to Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) software program acquisition, development and/or sustainment activities.
Do you have responsibility for assessing software development readiness for release or entry into developmental or operational testing? Do you need to comply with latest DoD Acquisition guidance on defect tracking? QSM experts can enter at any point in your software or organizational life-cycle and provide quantifiable estimates and/or forecasts of your software defect profile. Using our industry leading SLIM tools, we are able to use a basic core of metrics to provide insight to your software defect status against similar projects and determine how ready your project looks for progression to major test events or release. During this process, and armed with the current status of your program/project, we can also forecast schedule, cost, and other factors to support your decision-making.

The correct management decisions in these vital areas at the beginning of a software project will determine whether that project is a success, or a failure.
Continuing to track key metrics about your projects, as well as analyze historical data, enables your estimates to become full circle and improve your processes.
