DCG Software Value to Give Presentation on Estimation Techniques at the 2016 CMMI Conference

MALVERN, Pa. - May 3, 2016 - PRLog -- DCG Software Value, a global provider of software analytics, software quality management and Agile support services, will present at the 2016 CMMI Capability Counts conference.

The Capability Counts conference provides capability and improvement professionals the opportunity to connect, learn and share their challenges, expertise and success stories as they build capability in their organizations.

Tom Cagley, Vice President of Consulting at DCG Software Value, will present, "Budgeting, Estimation, Planning, #NoEstimates and the Agile Planning Onion - They ALL Make Sense," as part of the "Advancing Your Capability" track. Tom will discuss the many types of estimation that exist, when each type is most appropriate for use, and why they are all valuable, including #NoEstimates.

"Estimation is a necessary tool in a development team's arsenal because, although they are merely estimates, not facts, they play a key role in decreasing risk, increasing productivity and improving resource management within an organization," said Tom Cagley. "The key to successful estimation is to use the right technique at the right stage of development - using the Agile planning onion as a guide, with strategic planning at the outer layer and #NoEstimates as you get closer to the core. In terms of building capability within an organization, knowing when and how to apply a variety of estimation techniques offers an undeniable advantage in software quality and delivery."

This year's conference will be held May 10-11 at the Westin Hotel in Annapolis, MD. The program will include breakout sessions, workshops and networking opportunities.
