Topics:

[Core-Tier2]

  • Team participation
    • Team processes including responsibilities for tasks, meeting structure, and work schedule
    • Roles and responsibilities in a software team
    • Team conflict resolution
    • Risks associated with virtual teams (communication, perception, structure)
  • Effort Estimation (at the personal level)
  • Risk (cross reference IAS/Secure Software Engineering)
    • The role of risk in the lifecycle
    • Risk categories including security, safety, market, financial, technology, people, quality, structure and process

[Elective]

  • Team management
    • Team organization and decision-making
    • Role identification and assignment
    • Individual and team performance assessment
  • Project management
    • Scheduling and tracking
    • Project management tools
    • Cost/benefit analysis
  • Software measurement and estimation techniques
  • Software quality assurance and the role of measurements
  • Risk
    • Risk identification and management
    • Risk analysis and evaluation
    • Risk tolerance (e.g., risk-adverse, risk-neutral, risk-seeking)
    • Risk planning
  • System-wide approach to risk including hazards associated with tools

Learning Outcomes:

[Core-Tier2]

1. Discuss common behaviors that contribute to the effective functioning of a team. [Familiarity]

2. Create and follow an agenda for a team meeting. [Usage]

3. Identify and justify necessary roles in a software development team. [Usage]

4. Understand the sources, hazards, and potential benefits of team conflict. [Usage]

5. Apply a conflict resolution strategy in a team setting. [Usage]

6. Use an ad hoc method to estimate software development effort (e.g., time) and compare to actual effort required. [Usage]

7. List several examples of software risks. [Familiarity]

8. Describe the impact of risk in a software development lifecycle. [Familiarity]

9. Describe different categories of risk in software systems. [Familiarity]

[Elective]

10. Demonstrate through involvement in a team project the central elements of team building and team management. [Usage]

11. Describe how the choice of process model affects team organizational structures and decision-making processes. [Familiarity]

12. Create a team by identifying appropriate roles and assigning roles to team members. [Usage]

13. Assess and provide feedback to teams and individuals on their performance in a team setting. [Usage]

14. Using a particular software process, describe the aspects of a project that need to be planned and monitored (e.g., estimates of size and effort, a schedule, resource allocation, configuration control, change management, and project risk identification and management). [Familiarity]

15. Track the progress of some stage in a project using appropriate project metrics. [Usage]

16. Compare simple software size and cost estimation techniques. [Usage]

17. Use a project management tool to assist in the assignment and tracking of tasks in a software development project. [Usage]

18. Describe the impact of risk tolerance on the software development process. [Assessment]

19. Identify risks and describe approaches to managing risk (avoidance, acceptance, transference, mitigation), and characterize the strengths and shortcomings of each. [Familiarity]

20. Explain how risk affects decisions in the software development process. [Usage]

21. Identify security risks for a software system. [Usage]

22. Demonstrate a systematic approach to the task of identifying hazards and risks in a particular situation. [Usage]

23. Apply the basic principles of risk management in a variety of simple scenarios including a security situation. [Usage]

24. Conduct a cost/benefit analysis for a risk mitigation approach. [Usage]

25. Identify and analyze some of the risks for an entire system that arise from aspects other than the software.[Usage]
