Quantitative Process Management

Overview

To provide a practical course to answer the following questions:
Do you wish to implement software measurements in your organization?
Do you wish to lay the groundwork for continuous improvement in your software processes?
Do you wish to prevent defects in software?
This workshop provides an excellent illustration of how to achieve such goals by using Software measurements and data analysis.

Workshop Benefits
The course gives practical guidelines for implementing metrics and analyzing them using simple statistical methods.
The course gives a defect prevention system, using problem solving tools that have been applied to achieve process improvement and defect prevention in several organizations.
This course helps to build an information system in your organization using available metrics and integrate metrics with software project management and thereby establish SPC in your projects.
If you are aiming at CMM Levels 4 or 5, this course would help you in Quantitative Process Management, Defect Prevention and Change Management.
No special tool is required to implement QPM Methods outlined in this course, most applications are available in MS Excel. For special analysis, people may use Statistical or Minitab or any other professional package for data analysis.
