Webinar Recap: Project Performance Measurement – Part 2: What to Measure and How to Report

MPUG

Having spent half my life in the commercial space and half in the government space, the questions are always there. And then I came back and started using it in larger government programs. I got junior software engineers, software engineers, senior software engineers. Is it Fletcher?

Start with Principles, Not Personal Anecdotes

Herding Cats

We can estimate the total cost, total duration, and the probability that all the Features will be delivered on the program we are working for the US Government. Or ANY software project for that matter. This is the domain of Microeconomics and when applied to software development it is the microeconomics of software development.
