Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 03:36:06 -0700 From: "Long, Mike" Subject: SWEQSIG: No October meeting Folks, We haven't scheduled an October meeting due to its temporal proximity to the SWANH conference (see http://www.swanh.org, or click on SwANH Conference 2000). In November, we are still pulling together that session. I'll send out a notice as soon as we have it nailed down. We always have avoided having a session in December due to the holidays, and this year is no different. In January, James McKim will be doing a repeat performance: Topic: Fixing Broken Software Engineerng Projects Date & Time - Tuesday 1/30/2001, 7:30-9pm Presenter: James McKim, President and co-founder of ISRG, Inc. and a member of the NH Project Management Institute Chapter www.isrginc.com Where: Adaptec, see location below Abstract: Most software engineering efforts fail. Why? Reasons range from scope creep to lack of resources to bad design to bad coding. But some software engineering efforts succeed. Why? Good Project Management. Identified as a result of our well-received March session on Inch Pebbles by Johanna Rothman, this session will explore the discipline of project management as applies to software engineering. It will cover: * 13 reasons for project failure * The 9 Areas of Project Management? * Software Project Management Techniques and Tools (e.g. WBS, Gantt, PERT, MS-Project, AIMware, WB testing, BB testing, etc.) **** These seminars are FREE and we encourage your attendance. All presenters and coordinators are volunteers who appreciate your presence. ============================== To get removed from this email distribution list or to add yourself, send mail to majordomo@lists.mv.net The subject is ignored (to expedite, send mail FROM the account you are adding or removing).

Take Route 3 to Exit 8 This is Somerset Boulevard. Continue to the end of Somerset Boulevard, and make a RIGHT TURN at Ground Round. After the Building 19 on your left, get in the left lane. You will see a Country Tavern restarant on your left. Make a left at the next light, which is Townsend. Go past the first business plaza on your right. About a block or so, you will see the entrance that has signs for Compuware/Numega and Adaptec. Adaptec is in the 3 rightmost pods as you face the business plaza. The entrance is at the pod furthest to the right as you face the building (the middle pod has an Adaptec sign, but that's an employee-only-badge entrance).
