QAI’s Essential Software Project Management (ESPM) course was first introduced a few years ago. Its extraordinary success can be gauged by the fact it has been offered to full houses 22 times as public seminars and 28 times as in-company programs in organizations like Mahindra British Telecom, Modi Xerox, Wipro Systems, Intergraph, Hughes Software, Sonata Software in this short span. And with every offering the program has evolved based on participants’ feedback. Essential Software Management Principles can transform a chaotic endeavor into an orderly step by step process. ESPM provides a framework for Results Management. The workshop provides a conceptual and practical framework for planning, tracking and controlling software projects. Workshop attendees will be able to understand the statics and dynamics of development and learn about tools and techniques to manage in this context.
Workshop Benefits
ESPM prepares project managers to succeed by de-mystifying Software Project Management. It addresses the business of software development as a logical process that can be effectively managed by applying proven project management practices and common sense.
