No Project Is Successful Without A Plan

Putting a plan together will certainly ensure that deliverables are defined and tasks are completed.

However as a project progresses and project team members come and go, keeping the project team on task and then closing the project is really the difficulty part, not to mention getting the customer to sign-off on the final deliverables.

This webinar is meant for those who have seen project target dates slip because final details are delayed.

Objectives:

• Learn the reasons that ending a project is harder than starting a project
• Gain successful sign-off by customers on project completion
• Identify techniques for effectively closing projects

Who should attend:

• Project managers, Portfolio managers,
• Project team members, Project Leads,
• Project sponsors & function/business unit managers,
• Subject Matter Experts, Business Analysts, Scheduling Specialists and ….
• Other business stakeholders.

Most measurements in software development are notoriously difficult and assessing productivity is no exception.

There are an enormous number of factors that could or do affect productivity, and it is challenging to identify and characterize what they might be.

The effort involved often deters organizations from even attempting to quantify how effective they are at building systems.

This webinar will present a useful and practical approach to productivity measurement based on a mathematical model of systems development and over thirty years of research.

It will also describe the core mathematical functions that relate to the major attributes of systems development, show how a useful productivity metric can be calculated from project history, and demonstrate how QSM’s database of over 10,000 projects support this view of software development productivity.
