Changes to the software development process, such as moving toward Agile methods, must demonstrate sustainable results over time versus just short-term wins.  There are two keys to reaching long-term success that should be considered up front – the new process must be repeatable and measurable. 



In this session, AccuRev’s Chris Lucca and QSM’s Larry Putnam Jr will explore these two keys to success.   



Specifically, they will cover: 

• The state of software development projects yesterday versus today and the impact to the software development process 
• The techniques and tools that can help a team to build a process that is repeatable and scalable, even across a distributed team 
• Which metrics and measurement processes are important to measuring the results and improvements of implementing repeatable and scalable processes 
• How to use metrics to estimate project schedules, resources and reliability, and monitor project progress and forecast completion 
• Ways to benchmark the results at project completion for time to market, cost performance and reliability – all of which provide the business case for continued investments in technology and repeatable and scalable processes
