Course Title:
Principles and Practice of Software Measurement, from
Oxford Software Engineering
Description:
In fast changing, design intensive and
knowledge working
environments good information is critical for high
performance. The ability
to measure and evaluate is fundamental. It informs
decision making and
increases confidence. This intensive one day course
distils more than twenty
years experience of software measurement to show how
anyone can master this
essential, but notoriously elusive skill. The course has
eight stand alone
modules, each containing a collection of useful methods
and techniques and
numerous illustrations and examples. These build into a
complete set that
enable participants to confidently address almost all
situations requiring
software measurement skills, from identifying
information and measurements
needs, through measurement definition and analysis
design, to decision
making, validation - and stopping measuring when it has
served its purpose... For more see

Course
Title: Data Analysis and Statistics for Software
Developers and Managers, from Oxford Software
Engineering
Duration: One day
Description:
Contemporary software development environments are
producing large quantities of data about systems,
development activity, and resources, as well as project
status, risks and prospects. These data can give you an
edge - if you can extract and interpret the relevant
information, and have the confidence to act on the
insights it gives you. Analysis that delivers credible
results gives you that edge. It gives decision makers,
whether technical staff or managers, the confidence to
act on the information extracted from these subtle and
complex environments, and the ability to communicate the
information convincingly and unambiguously.
This one day course brings together, for the first time,
the most useful and robust analytical and statistical
methods for extracting information for software
development's complex, unique and occasionally messy
data. It shows how anyone can make friends with their
data, learn from it and act, and share what they have
learned with others... For more see
