Subject: Software Inspection Seminar for Managers, Oct 1, 1998

Managers need to understand the dynamics of the inspection process and how
it will impact the development process.  Where this understanding is
lacking, the process often fails to produce the desired results.  One reason
is that managers may not understand the time commitment that is required of
the participants.  Another reason for failure is the selection of
inappropriate inspection leaders.

This seminar will address these points and others that can help to assure
success.
