-Program Objective:

As the Indian IT Services industry transitions from being a low-cost provider to an affordable provider of high-quality high-volume IT Services, there is increasing focus on enhanced productivity of Software Development processes. While tools & techniques for productivity improvement of software development or software developers have received attention, there is growing realization that professionals managing the software development process at various levels - from first-time team leaders to Heads of Software Factories - are often inadequately equipped with managerial skills to perform their critical roles. Often, the best developers evolve into team leaders and project managers, with only minimal training on some technical or quantitative areas.

This unique program comprehensively covers principles and practices to equip IT professionals to become managers and leaders of Software Development. It treats software development processes as an economic and business operation where various functional disciplines of management come into play, with appropriate customization for the IT context. Software Development Processes are considered from the project management dimension (process dynamics, effort estimation, resource optimization & quantitative techniques), from the business dimension (software economics, project accounting methods), from the quality dimension (quality principles & SEI-CMM), the people dimension (team management, performance assessment, management of self), and from an integrative dimension (business opportunities, risk management). The program blends theoretical principles with case studies, experience-sharing and best practices.
