Red Rock Research held our first of a weekly series of seminars on software development best practices yesterday at the Miller Campus - Professional Development Center. Our topic was Software Estimation.
We covered the typical informal methods: Fuzzy Logic, Wide-band Delphi, Planning Poker, and the primary formal methods: Function Point counting, the Putnam Model, COCOMO II, and COSMIC-FFP. We also discussed how to estimate the percent of defects still in your application at the time of release.
Along with ‘how’ to estimate software projects accurately, we discussed how to manage the expectations of the executive team and the investors who typically want everything now. Chris Perry, from the Utah iEEE CS chapter was in attendance and said “All the things your talking about I’ve been living for the past 10 years!”
Join us this Thursday, July 16 for our 2-hour seminar on Software Requirements Management. The cost is only $10!

I’m hosting weekly Software Development Best Practice workshops each Thursday during the next four weeks. These are held during work hours so ask your manager/VP/CIO and perhaps they would like to come along. The topics are different each week.
This is basically a summary of my three day courses that I am now offering. I’m giving the info away to get some attention in the valley. Each workshop is from 3:00 - 5:00pm Thursday afternoon at the Miller Campus - Professional Development Center This represents a tremendous value as I have put over 3000 hours of research into the material and consumed over 100 industry books.

This is my first post for RRR. I’ve started this site because I feel like it’s time to start giving back to the IT community. Lots of the information found on these pages I wish were made available to me years ago. Probably there are software development managers out there just starting out that are hungry for information and want to peform their jobs better. If you are one of these brave souls then cheers…this blog’s for you.
