Course Description:

'' 3 days. This workshop is intended to provide both the novice and experienced manager with enough material to understand and use the basic theories, concepts, tools and techniques of software project management. It is scoped under the assumption that the work will be done by a geographically dispersed team from different organizations (teammates, subcontractors, etc.) It is introductory in the sense that participants need not have extensive experience in the field to apply its principles. It shows participants how to use a Work Breakdown Structures as the integrating infrastructure to plan, track and control software projects. Rather than attempting to cover every nuance of project management, it furnishes a framework that lets participants organize knowledge about the practice of software management, address the important issues and focus on the critical success factors. The framework centers on the five basic functions of management: planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling. Software estimating, risk management, systematic software reuse and technology management are covered in this context, as is the topic moving up the CMMI maturity profile.
