Statistical Process Control (SPC) for Software Inspections Attempts to create user-friendly statistical process control (SPC) charts for software inspections often have

The Ritual of Retrospectives: Your First Best Tool for a Learning Organization You've just finished your software release. You have signed off, and it's been shipped. You're done, right? No! The moment a project ends is the perfect time to reflect on the entire project to see what there is to learn-the unique moment when the project can be viewed in its entirety. You can look at the completion of your project as having "paid your tuition." So, now what are you going to learn from it? In this presentation, Norm Kerth explores the benefits, pitfalls, and experiences with this project management tool. Explore ways to use retrospection to improve future projects in your organization.
