The most successful students also include reading a range of PMI-ACP books in their exam prep, as well as a training course, just as that little bit of extra comfort. Instead, you would probably get more use out of investing your reading time in User Stories Applied: For Agile SoftwareDevelopment (Mike Cohn). Recommended.
Please find below a transcription of the audio portion of Fletcher Hearn’s session, Project PerformanceMeasurement – Part 1: Overview Of Project PerformanceMeasurements, being provided by MPUG for the convenience of our members. Kyle: Hello, and welcome to part one of MPUGs Project PerformanceMeasurementcourse.

It covered identifying requirements, interconnecting tasks, resources, planned values, actual values, baselines, performancemeasures, forecast techniques and timesheets. She graduated in Mathematics and with an MBA in Global Management. She teaches project management at University of Padova and has been a PMI volunteer since 2007.
Take for example the deployment of an ERP system, the installation, and startup of a process control system, the release of a suite of embedded software controllers for a car, aircraft, petrochemical plant. A recent survey of 600 firms indicated that 35% of them had at least one "runaway' software project. Now To Risk Management.
PerformanceMeasurement Baseline. This creates a point of comparison of all the other baselines to evaluate project performance. It is a pre-defined process for specifying the alternative course of action that needs to be performed in case of certain project risks or issues. Optimistic Duration. Contingency Plan.
There a popular notions in the agile development world that authors like Hayek and Taleb speak to how softwaredevelopment works. Let's look at the thesis of Hayek in light of softwaredevelopment and the decisions that must be made when spending other people's money in the presence of uncertainty. Of course not.
Project Performance Management (#PPM). Technical PerformanceMeasures (#TPM). Cost, Schedule, and Technical Performance Management (#CSTPM). Product Development (#ProdDev). Agile SoftwareDevelopment (#ASD). Those lessons are directly transferable to the management of softwaredevelopment teams.
In the end, of course, value (to someone) is important. In most of the softwaredevelopment, this notion is missing - hence the quote that What is divided from How. In Earned Value Management paradigm, progress is always measured as physical percent complete. Technical PerformanceMeasures.
The Cone of Uncertainty is a framing assumption used to model the needed reduction in some parameter of interest in domains ranging from softwaredevelopment to hurricane forecasting. The Cone of Uncertainty as a Technical PerformanceMeasure. This is course is NOT the correct use of the Cone.
This quote is typically the basis of proposing agile softwaredevelopment over traditional softwaredevelopment. But if the development work is a Project is a fixed period of performance, for a fixed (with margin) budget, and a fixed set of Capabilities, then the question is can agile be used to develop the software?
AHP was developed in the 1970s by Dr. Thomas Saaty. In our agile softwaredevelopment world, AHP is rarely found. Using this method, the performance, cost, time, and risks of alternatives can be articulated as ratios that can then be compared with one another. And of course. References . [1]
Landmark’s measure of success over these three years had much more to do with customer satisfaction and market share than with meeting knowingly aggressive targets. It's suggested from observations, the Cone of Uncertainty (CoU) is not a valid model of how uncertainty behaves in softwaredevelopment projects.
This, of course, is a fallacy on all levels. In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. This is the domain of Microeconomics and when applied to softwaredevelopment it is the microeconomics of softwaredevelopment. Of Course Not. .
This is a closed loop control system for managing the program with a T echnical PerformanceMeasure (TPM). There can be cost and schedule performancemeasures as well. If these are not compliant with the plan will one of the Root Causes of program performance shortfall. Economics of SoftwareDevelopment.
And of course, those are biased, filtered are fed back into System One at a later date, creating more bias to the decision-making process in the future. With these business principles of softwaredevelopment and projects in general, we can ask and answer five principles of project success. An exploratory study," Ricardo Colomo?Palacios,
When actual measures of cost, schedule, and technical performance are outside the planned cone of uncertainty, corrective actions must be taken to move those uncertanties inside the cone of uncertanty, if the project is going to meet it's cost, schedule, and technical performance goals. . IEEE Software, March-April 2009, pp.
The Measures that are modeled in the Cone of Uncertainty are the Quantitative basis of a control process that establishes the goal for the performancemeasures.

Online self-paced course – 24%. Implement/enhance performancemeasurement process – 39%. [13]. Why a Majority of Business and IT Teams Anticipate Their SoftwareDevelopment Projects Will Fail. PM Certification by Department: 37% say their entire IT department is certified. 26% say Business managers are certified.
In softwaredevelopment, those managing the project have some understanding the market forces (from their marketing departments), the technology (from their engineering department), and how to manage in the presence of Aleatory and Epistemic risk (the managers running a successful firm). Softwaredevelopment is a non-ergodic process.
Activity: A distinct, identifiable portion of work done during the course of a project. Each 'activity' is the smallest unit of work that can be performed within the scope of the project. Authorization Points: Specific points during the course of a project at which the sponsor reviews the business case and approves the project onwards.
And of course, those are biased, filtered are fed back into System One at a later date, creating more bias to the decision-making process in the future.

There is no way out of this for any non-trivial softwaredevelopment project. Allen School of Computer Science Software Engineering Course . In the presence of uncertainty, estimates is needed to make decisions. This information comes from the Paul G.

The 5 Hidden Agility Killers Of course, the transformation itself is essential, but there are some factors that can slow it down. And, you know, ultimately the thing that slows softwaredevelopment down is fear of change. Also, review performancemeasures. Are you measuring output or input? Okay, great.
It's the Planning and Controls processes working together with the Technical Development processes that provide the ability to forecast what should happen in the future if we keep going like we are going now using a Model of the possible future outcomes. This approach uses past performance to predict future performance.
Melanie: Jeff is currently the Training and Development Manager for Edwards Performance Solutions. As such, he oversees the production and maintenance of courses on project management, systems engineering, softwaredevelopment, business process improvement, and cyber security. But of course, let me reiterate.
