Introduction
No other industry has such a degree of failure in its projects as the Software industry. At present, the industry is very much based on individual skills, and as such, results are often unpredictable. Our Software industry is very project oriented, therefore project management skills are crucial in order to plan, delegate, control and disclose early signs of project failure, so they can be corrected, and the project brought back on the right course again.

This two-day workshop will give insight in the software projects, lifecycles, size and efforts estimation methodologies, and various techniques to monitor and control your software projects. In addition to planning and tracking, participants learn how to establish quantitative objectives for performance and quality and align them with their business objectives. The course will also briefly introduce concepts of CMMI process areas related to project management.
