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!
