We all did that so many times, it’s second nature.

But have you ever thought about the process of fixing bugs?

Maybe (just maybe), if we understand the process, rather than keep ourselves busy by fixing each and every bug separately, we can improve it, and perhaps minimize time spent on these pesky bugs.

So to do that, Gill will discuss the following In this session:

1. Analyzing bug data
2. What can tests (both passing and failing) tell us
3. Risk analysis before we begin
4. Fixing the damn thing
5. Making sure the bug won’t come back to bite us

Risks exist on projects because by definition, projects possess uncertainty. Organizations that ignore risks experience reduced project success rates due to the wasted effort and delays that result from dealing with issues.

Risk management methodologies address this challenge but tend to be too theoretical or require significant process discipline or historical data to be practical.

During this webinar you will learn practical, lightweight best practices for managing risks throughout a project’s lifecycle.

Benefits of managing risks through this approach include:

• Improved project predictability
• Improved ROI for your overall portfolio
• Quantification of cost & schedule contingencies
• Reduced effort spent resolving project issues

Who should attend this webinar?
Managers/Directors of PMOs, Project Managers

Requirements, by nature, have a lot of text. As the number and complexity of requirements grow, the ability to manage and track delivery of those requirements in context becomes increasingly more difficult.

Whether you are using Waterfall, Agile or a hybrid approach, there’s a better and more efficient way to evolve requirements and bring all related information together. Simplify the requirements management and delivery process by using the power of pictures and visual models.

Documentation of requirements during the elicitation process, socializing requirements for feedback, and getting final approvals doesn’t have to be challenging. Join us Wednesday, October 30th at 2 p.m. EDT to learn how visualizations improve the completeness and quality of your requirements.

In this webinar you will learn:

1. How to reduce time and assure completeness of requirements using the Requirements Modeling Language (RML)
2. Simple RML models you can use right away to help you better understand the “big picture” regarding your requirements
3. How to apply the visual approach to implement these RML models from definition to delivery using Borland Caliber®
