Schedule slippage is an unfortunate reality during many complex software development projects. And while one instance of slippage may be tolerated, repeated surprises are an entirely different matter. In this presentation by Dr. Brad Clark of Software Metrics, Brad will discuss an approach to finding the root-causes of schedule slippage. He will describe a cause and effect model that can be applied to any software development project to stabilize progress and prevent surprises.

Learning Objectives: discuss the common methods used to track project progress; discuss what you can do when progress starts slipping; describe an approach to finding the root causes of slippage; discuss setting up a monitoring program to prevent future occurrences of slippage.

Intended Audience: executive and senior managers; IT Program Managers; software project managers; technical staff.
