Synopsis:
Changes to the SCAMPI Methodology and How to Prepare for a SCAMPI Appraisal
The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) ® is a process improvement approach that provides guidance for best practices in a development environment. It is a collection of best practices that help organizations improve their processes. The CMMI model has been developed by product teams with members from industry, government, and the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon University. The CMMI model can be used to guide process improvement in projects, divisions, or entire organizations.
The Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI) is a methodology that has been designed to provide benchmark-quality ratings relative to Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) models. SCAMPI appraisals are used to identify the strength and weakness of current processes and development related risks, and to determine capability and maturity level rating against the requirements of the CMMI model.
The organizations that have been working to improve their software/systems development and project management practices based on the CMMI for Development Model have learned that both the CMMI for Development model and the SCAMPI Appraisal Method have been updated. While the changes to the CMMI for Development Model have been minimal, the SCAMPI Appraisal Method has seen major changes. This presentation will address the CMMI model and SCAMPI Method changes and answer questions on factors to consider when making the decision to go through a SCAMPI appraisal and how to prepare for it.

Synopsis:
We Need It Before The End Of The Year:
What’s Your Estimate?
No matter what your position on a project you must be a good estimator of your work, and it is a cardinal sin to let good estimates by smart people get overwhelmed by the strong desires of powerful people. Accurate estimates are the foundation of all critical project decisions regarding staffing, functionality, delivery date, and budget. How do we accurately estimate in a world where tradition declares that the deadline is set before the requirements are even known?
Tim will offer practical advice on dealing with this thorny issue. He will present strategies and tactics for project estimating and will describe his favorite estimating metric, the Estimating Quality Factor (EQF). By thinking that goals are important and so are good estimates, you will be on the road to better quality and better projects.
. He, is also co-author with Tom DeMarco of Waltzing With Bears: Managing Risk on Software Projects (Dorset House, 2003)
. Both books won Software Development magazine’s Jolt Award as General Computing Book of the Year, for 2003-2004, and 2008-2009. Tim and Tom are also co-authors of Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams, (Dorset House, 1999)
now available in 14 languages.Tim is currently a member of the Cutter IT Trends Council. He is a member of the I.E.E.E. and the A.C.M. He is in his 28th year as a panelist for the American Arbitration Association, arbitrating disputes involving software and software services.
