Process Impact has several training courses and many short presentations available. We can present these at your company and tailor them to meet your needs for content and duration. We want attendees to leave the class with practical techniques they can apply immediately and with the motivation to try new approaches.
Review several less-than-perfect requirements statements from actual specifications to identify problem. Rewrite some of the requirements to improve them.
Effective peer reviews of work products help software development organizations reduce their cost of producing software. Inspections of requirements, designs, tests, source code, and other deliverables are a proven way to find errors.
Based on Karl Wiegers's book Peer Reviews in Software: A Practical Guide, this course shows how to effectively perform both inspections and less formal peer reviews. The inspection process is described in detail. Attendees will learn why peer reviews add value at all stages of software development, know the guidelines for conducting a successful review, and know how to select an appropriate review strategy for each of their work products. A practice inspection session will help attendees learn to conduct effective reviews on their own projects.
