Awareness Briefings on Measurement

This is a series of 45 to 90 minute discussions that are intended to broaden the knowledge of the software community at large, focusing on the improvement of software practices. The selection of expert speakers and pertinent topics are also intended to facilitate compliance with the new software NPR 7150.2 and achievement of Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) levels.

Date/Time Location
Measurement and Analysis for ISD Software Projects Mike Stark Mon, Jun 13, 2005
1:30 PM
Building 23, Room C432

This discussion will examine why software measurement is a good idea and how measurement can be used to help plan, manage and control a software project. Measurement best practices are broken down to show activities that are carried out at project startup, activities that are carried out to monitor projects and get them under control if they deviate from plan, and activities at the end of a project that provide information and lessons to subsequent projects. You might even discover you've been measuring all along without knowing it. Hmmmmm.

Introduction to the ISD Measurement Program Mike Stark Mon, Jul 25, 2005
1:30 PM
Building 23, Room C432

The ISD measurement program supports software projects through its products and services. The program also supports the ISD organization by assessing long-term trends in key indicators, such as productivity, and by assessing whether the introduction of new processes and technologies are having the desired effect. This introduction will cover: 1. Why software organizations measure 2. What the ISD measurement program intends to accomplish 3. How the ISD measurement program is organized, and 4. How ISD data is collected, stored, analyzed and used

11:00 AM
GSFC Building 23/Room C432. (For Wallops, contact your Training Officer.)

Did you know that all software development and maintenance projects are required to collect certain measures? In this first of two measurement and analysis sessions you'll learn how to plan for the collection of metric data. Come find out how to decide what your measurement objectives should be, what measures you should collect to meet those objectives, and when to collect the data.

GSFC Building 23/Room C432. (For Wallops, contact your Training Officer.)

It's great to collect all of those required measures, but what benefit can you get from them after you collect them? In this second measurement and analysis session, you'll find out how to analyze the data so it can help you predict potential problems and take corrective actions early.
