| Description: | IT professionals are continually faced with the need to provide estimates and quotes for software projects - their track record is not good.
The buyers of IT systems need ways to identify the reality of the quotes they receive, ways to identify the incompetents and charlatans.
In this presentation Peter Hill looks at practical ways to estimate or verify: size, effort and duration of software projects, particularly early in their life cycle. Based on industry history data, Peter will provide examples of how estimates can be established using the known attributes of a piece of software at any stage in it's life.
Peter Hill has been in the Information Services industry for more than 35 years with broad experience covering a number of industries working in both Australia and New Zealand.
For 12 years from 1982 Peter was Executive Director and major shareholder of an Australian Software Company.
Since selling his interest in the software company, Peter has headed up the ISBSG, a not-for-profit organisation with a membership of IT industry and metrics associations in 13 countries. Peter has been a speaker at conferences in Australia, Asia, Europe and the USA. He has a number of articles published, covering key aspects of the Information Services industry.
