Upcoming Event: Presentation on CMMI

Infowave shall be delivering a 3 hr presentation on CMMI and Software Process Improvement on Wednesday 13th October 2010 (0800 - 1100) at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT-CSIM).

Preparing for your Project

A very valuable resource in preparation for a software project is this compact 400 page book from RUP experts Per Kroll and Bruce MacIsaac. It consists of 20 Practices that dramatically increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.

• P. Kroll, et al. (2006), Agility and Discipline Made Easy, Addison-Wesley.

If this book brings you nothing new, then you are already on the right track. Highly recommended.

Recommended reading for Run Time Architecture
