I have had a good time developing a webinar with Geoff Hewson of the Software Productivity Center.  It should be very informative and hopefully entertaining as well.

Description: Software estimation, planning and control can be keystones to successful projects. Companies that estimate strategically are able to zero in their projects so they deliver to business targets. Despite this many treat estimation as a black art or worse – a guess.

Dan Galorath and Geoff Hewson will explain the key concepts that drive successful software estimation in support of planning and managing successful software development and maintenance projects:
1. Decisions and deliverables needed to design estimation procedures tuned to your organization.
2. Guidance in setting up the infrastructure you need to realize the most benefit from your new estimation capabilities.
3. Establishing a “negotiating culture” to allow you to deal effectively with the results of your estimates and focus projects on business success.

SEER for Software concepts will support the discussion.
