Rapid Development, Part 2
"Rapid Development" is a framework of theoretical concepts and set of practices for organizing the development of software projects that result in predictable and fast development process without reducing the quality of the work. The lecture focuses on the software development fundamentals – a major part of the rapid development requirements that we need to follow for successful software project management.
Software Development Estimation – Dark Art or Science
The software development industry employs a wide range of estimation techniques – from precise mathematical models to the “good” old blind guess. This presentation addresses various approaches for estimating software development schedules as well as other important activities that surround the estimating itself – communicating the estimate to the customers and resisting the schedule pressure.
Usability Considerations for Developing Web Applications
Software usability has many meanings and goals. Sometimes it is just about doing some activity successfully; sometimes it is about user’s productivity and sometimes it is a matter of aesthetics. This lecture brings up some critical questions on usability when developing Web applications. It reveals the most common usability mistakes we make and presents some good practices that would improve the software usability.
