We use proven project and scope management techniques, and include measures of duration, work effort, defects, and cost to pinpoint process improvements. We work with your team to customize measures to meet YOUR company needs using goal driven measurement (ISO/IEC standards such as 15939 and Goal/Question/Metric). Our clients span a wide variety of industries and government agencies -- we work with Executives, Project Managers, QA Specialists, Estimators, Contract Specialists, and others. Do you need a measurement QUICKstart(sm) this year? QUICKstart is a low-cost, low-risk way to gain 5 days of training and consulting so you can achieve an early return-on-investment in software measurement. See our training pages for more information.
