Managing component-based software development presents unique opportunities and challenges for the project manager. Components are used to organize a system into manageable units. Each component provides a service or closely related set of services. Using Components the system is assembled rather than built as a whole. Successful component-based development requires an iterative approach.

This workshop first covers the concepts and principles behind the iterative component-based development, than it provides you with practical skills and a process for managing risk and delivering quality solutions on time and within budget. The success factors include: managing changing requirements, early focus on architecture, tracking progress based on tangible deliverables (artifacts) trough the entire lifecycle, and building a winning team.

• Understand the principles and concepts behind Components and Object Technology
• Understand the nature of the different phases of the software development lifecycle and the artifacts and activities associated with them
• Understand how to organize the work into increments that enable high performance from your teams without sacrificing control
• Learn how to effectively manage and maintain traceability for changing requirements
• Understand the importance of addressing software architecture issues early on
• Learn the fundamentals of estimates, project scheduling and tracking.
• Determine and apply essential metrics to track progress and fine-tune estimates
• Learn to identify and avoid common pitfalls associated with component based development and the iterative development lifecycle
