our carbon footprint is a measure of how much greenhouse gases you are creating by your activities; for working purposes carbon dioxide is the gas which is measured, however there are other gases and emissions which are created too, it is just that carbon dioxide levels are the most practical variable to focus on.  The [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve written before on the predictive nature of estimation software. Using software estimation products as project management software can help show you aspects of your project which you haven&#8217;t accounted for, particularly things like risk.
However, software estimation products can do more than highlight areas which you haven&#8217;t seen, they can also peer around the corner [...]]]></description>

This is a blog post by none-other than Dan Galorath, the Chief Architect for the SEER-SEM software. He talks about the difference between the types of project management software and sheds some light on not only the various differences that exist, but also where the two different types of software can be useful.

Often, traditional earned value approaches do not deal sufficiently with the idiosyncrasies of software intensive programs.  However, successful management of software intensive programs can be achieved by focusing on establishing the requirements, developing a reliable baseline estimate [...]]]></description>

So, you&#8217;ve checked over all of your initial data, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. You&#8217;ve double checked with the client and you know exactly what they think that they want. And you&#8217;ve plugged all of that carefully measured data into your software estimation program of choice and hit the enter key.
Congratulations and welcome [...]]]></description>

If you recall, last week I talked about the first step that anyone doing anything with software estimation needs to do – that is to establish the &#8216;what&#8217; and the &#8216;why&#8217;. And I said that these two aspects are your cornerstone, the start of your foundation. Now it&#8217;s time to move to step two and [...]]]></description>

Software Sizing, Software and Risk Management
Software Sizing, Estimation, and Risk Management is a practical, hands-on discussion of the software estimation, planning and control process. It addresses critical factors that affect estimates, methods for selecting and applying appropriate measures to projects, proper software sizing, processes to identify and manage risk, and best practices to avoid problems [...]]]></description>
