2-day Workshop
Software Project Management Strategies
   
               
               
   

This workshop will attempt to cover all the known Software Development Life Cycle Models ( Traditional, Evolved and the Emerging), discuss the Rationale behind each model and compare the Pros and Cons of each approach.  This will enable participants understand the criteria to choose the right SDLC model in any given project context.

The 2-day Interactive workshop will focus on Project Risk Management Strategies and uncover how these have been factored into the current emerging Iterative Life Cycle Models and Agile Project Management Paradigms.

Case study driven learning approach will be used to help participants assess their current project scenario and determine the  most appropriate project strategy and approach that would work best in their context.

This workshop has been delivered several times, both in India and Abroad for worldwide audience.  Participants gave excellent feedback and have confirmed that it was comprehensive and very useful to them in actual practice.
