Quality Software Conference (Edward S. Allen:Legislative Data Center)
Title: Extreme Project Management
Abstract: My presentation centers on successfully accomplishing projects and satisfying customer expectations in environments not conducive to practicing and performing best practices in project management. This presentation brings out the skill sets that every project manager must know for the negotiation of resources, working with the customer, and guiding the project team through a hostile project management environment. I use concepts developed by Doug De Carlo in his book "Extreme project management," and methodologies practiced in Agile Project Software Development to provide examples of performing best project management practices in less than ideal project development environments.
Quality Software Conference (Nadeem Shafi and Nadean Shavor : FTB)
Title: Agile Software Development and Quality at FTB Abstract: A look at the Agile software development methodology and how it can result in quality software for Franchise Tax Board. As agile softwaqre development practices move into the mainstream, it will be vital that you understand what agile is all about and how agile practices can help you deliver better software. Traditional development methodologies like the Waterfall approach can loss sight of quality and more importantly value. In comparison, Agile centers on value with the highest priority to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. Thus, Agile can result in high quality, value driven software when implement for the right project and right environment. The practical application of Agile at Franchise Tax Board has proven that it results in quality software.
Abstract: Customer driven requirements become a formal process that bridge business and technical requirements into Research and Development. Pre Release Validation Test (PRVT) is proactive process of analysis, review and testing that partner with the customer during the development lifecycle to reduce ambiguities in requirements, design, and acceptance criteria. PRVT validates features and capabilities of the proposed final system before product release to market.
Abstract: Over the past 10 years Google has gone from a startup founded by two computer scientists working on one project to a company with thousands of software developers and computer engineers working on hundreds of different projects. During this time Google has established a reputation for developing applications that are highly reliable, frequently updated and very useful. This talk will explore how Google's software development is done, which aspects of their processes seem to matter most and how they differ from more traditional methodologies.
Talk title: How We Entered the Cloud: Computing in the Web
Abstract: We are entering a new era in computing. Application development and deliver completely in cyberspace. How did we end up in this new paradigm? What lessons from the past will apply to this future? In the modern software world, the ever increasing pressure to develop more complex applications faster with less costs coupled with the needs to have complete accessibility and portability of end applications is driving a need for a new software development and delivery model. Traditional software development models and software distribution methods will not be sufficient. To meet the needs for this advanced software model, software development, software application delivery and machine infrastructure must be ubiquitous. This means that the software development, application execution, and machine infrastructure will need to be virtual services access only with a browser. It's happening today!
