Statistical Techniques for
Software Process Management

Overview

Use of statistical techniques to control and improve processes has been in use in the manufacturing industry for over 25 years. As the software industry matures, statistics will become a driver of process improvement in an increasingly quantitatively managed world.
The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) emphasizes the use of statistics in the level 4 KPA’s - Quantitative Process Management and Software Quality Management. It has therefore become imperative for project managers and software quality/process engineering professional to understand and apply statistical techniques to their projects and processes.

Workshop Benefits
The workshop imparts the participant’s skill to use statistical techniques that are typically applicable to software project and process control situations - especially those techniques that are used to implement L4 KPA’s of the CMM. The workshop covers histograms, run charts, control charts and curve fitting. Conditions required for the correct use of these techniques and instances of common pitfalls (Do’s and Don’ts) are covered. The participants will acquire the skills by completing exercises and a case study.
