Synopsis:

Software Engineering Education goes Global and Agile
(Christelle Scharff)


Since 2005 we have been running an annual global software development project that engages students in both acquiring and exercising the competencies and skills considered desirable for working in a global setting. The project implemented different educational models where students distributed across three to four countries developed software together. The focus of the project evolved each year based on the lesson learned and state-of-the-art practices of the industry, ranging from global supply chains, tooling, software quality assurance, integration, deployment and maintenance, entrepreneurship, socialization, mobile application development, process, and distributed teams of developers. Students experienced different roles: developers, clients, auditors, coaches, lead- and sub-contractors, and socialization leaders. In 2009, we switched to the use of Agile methodologies and Scrum and end-to-end tooling solutions to support them. This talk will focus on the findings and lessons learned from using Agile and Scrum supported by an end-to-end tooling solution in the last 2 versions of the global software development project. We will propose a model to introduce Agile and Scrum for distributed teams in an educational context.

Requirements Reuse: the State of the Practice
(Yuri Chernak)

For several decades, software reuse has been a recognized solution to improving efficiency of software development.  However, implementing reuse in practice remains challenging and the IT community has little visibility into the state of the practice specifically as it pertains to reusing software requirements. In this presentation we discuss the state of the practice for software requirements reuse based on the results of a survey conducted in the global IT industry in 2010. The survey studied reuse adoption in two different contexts, i.e., Software Product Lines and Software Maintenance. The analysis of the survey data focuses on the latter context as a more common case in practice and investigates the impact of various project and process factors on reuse effectiveness.


Kanban – Japanese Productivity Tool
(Larry Cooke)

Kanban is still a lesser-known productivity tool. Born of the Toyota TPS industrial process, it now is widely accepted in many contexts, especially under the covers in Supply Chain systems.

Synopsis:

Top 10 Obstacles to Project Success


Top 10 Obstacles to Project Success is based on a global survey run by MuTo Performance Corp. every year.   During the presentation, Lou will discuss the Top 10 Obstacles based on the survey data. The findings are useful to Project Managers, Program Managers, and Senior I.T. Leadership who wish to understand the nature of the most  common project obstacles.

The audience's experiences are often the foundation of discussion around each of the obstacles.

Overall, the presentation is humorous (in a Dilbert sort of way), yet educational and enlightening.  Many of the obstacles seem obvious, until we uncover what root causes lie beneath them. Audience members walk away with plenty of thought provoking ideas for solutions to their existing obstacles, and new perspectives on how to tackle new ones.
