Date: October 16, 2008, 10:00 AM
Venue: Block 03, Auditorium, KU Campus, Dhulikhel
Schedule: 10-12: Estimation of software development effort (Why is it difficult? Evaluation of different methods. How to improve the estimation accuracy.)
12-14: Break
14-15: Risk analysis and uncertainty management (Why are we over-confident? Methods to increase realism and improve the risk and uncertainty management processes.)
15-16: Planning and management in agile projects (Experiences with Planning Poker, Scrum)
Content: The content will be based on Prof. Jørgensen and Dr. Grimstad's research at Simula Research Laboratory. They have written more than 100 research publications on the presented topics.

Most of their research can be downloaded from: simula.no/research/engineering/projects/best.
KU Alumni interested in participating are requested to send emails to alumni@ku.edu.np. There are limited number of seats for participation, hence we need to get an approval from the Department in advance.
