Victoria .NET UG VSTS Topics Anyone?
I’m going to be in beautiful Victoria (BC) to present at the .NET UG on October 4th to talk on Team System on behalf of INETA. Of course, I could present on something pre-canned but that would be boring… If you are planning to attend, why don’t you send me your feedback on what topics you would like to discuss and we can customize the session to exactly what you would like to see. I can drill as deep as you want to go on any topic…so go nuts.

Why I Like CMMI
I continually work with customers to help them achieve greater success with their software engineering processes. Generally speaking, I come across a large number of fairly large and successful organizations who rely on technology for their business yet maintain an extremely low success rate with their IT projects. What makes a project successful? To some organizations simply finishing a project that they start is considered successful – nothing like keeping that achievement bar right up there. In my humble opinion a project needs to be on-time, on-budget, and more importantly on-function. If your projects are on-budget and on-time yet lack the business valued functionality that you planned on providing – are you successful? My opinion is that you are not.
