Mapping Agile Principals to SEER for Software (SEER-SEM)

November 13, 2008 · Filed Under Software Estimating  - 1 Comment(s)

I thought these slides from Galorath’s David Dewitt covering estimating agile systems in SEER were interesting, showing which SEER parameters deal with which Agile characteristics. SEER handles agile developments out of the box. David used SEER to estimate and manage Agile projects as a software project manager before he joined Galorath. David also did an entire webinar on Agile.

 

The Agile webinar information follows:

Estimating Agile Projects Using SEER for Software
CNN published a list of 50 things it thinks are transforming the world of business. Agile Software Development is ranked #18. However, current agile methods do not preclude the need for a quantified approach to software project estimation and planning.During this presentation, we will discuss how to use SEER for Software (SEER-SEM) to estimate projects being developed using one of the various Agile methodologies. The discussion will begin with an overview of Agile and the unique challenges it presents when preparing an estimate. The Agile Manifesto will be reviewed and a recommendation made for what parametric parameters can be mapped to the doctrine. The webinar will conclude with the presentation of the “Agile-Full” and “Agile-Novice” development method knowledge bases now available in SEER for Software.

    An interesting aspect of Agile is that the lifecycle process can vary a bit. Watch for the MSP Integration of SEER for Software to come with an agile-style lifecycle in its next release.
