Measurement Specialist – Pizza vs Software: How do you determine a selling price?
27th September 2024, 13:00 – 14:00 webinar
To improve ICT estimation and measurement, comparisons can be made with everyday application processes. For example, in the food & beverage sector, how is the price of a kg (or meter) of pizza determined? Which criterion counts more between quantity and quality? Are the same evaluation criteria adopted for a software projectors?
This webinar: introduces the new certification exam (Measurement Specialist); illustrates the quantity/quality relationship in different application domains, discusses points of contact and difference in ‘pricing’ between economies of scale and craftsmanship (ICT).
Attend this webinar to earn 1 PDU, 1 CPD Peoplecert/Axelos and a training credit for the CEPAS SCH174 certification.

Measurement of Microservice Architectures Using FP and SNAP
5th October 2024
This workshop examines important concepts used to measure Microservices – Function Point Analysis (FPA) and Software non-Functional Assessment Process (SNAP).
The main topics covered are: boundaries and partitions, application of FPA and SNAP to microservices with examples.
Benefits to participants are: understanding the definitions of purpose and user when sizing microservices, understanding definitions of boundaries and partitions when applying FPA and SNAP to SW sizing, understanding when to apply FPA versus SNAP, learn how to size microservices architecture with FPA and SNAP.

The comprehensive workshop on Non-functional sizing and preparation for CSS exam
5th October 2024
SNAP is used to size the non-functional size of software. Together with IFPUG FPA, both functional and non-functional requirements are sized, providing more accurate information for effort estimation and Project Performance analyses.
This SNAP workshop will help you to: Understand SNAP; Prepare for the CSS exam; Sell SNAP in your organization; Use SNAP for effort estimation, cost evaluation, and KPI’s calculations.
Main Topics that will be covered during the workshop are: Overview and non-functional sizing concepts; SNAP Overview; SNAP categories and sub-categories; CSS–like examples.

Measurement Specialist – People Management: possible KPIs to measure the real ‘engine’ of each project
25th October 2024, webinar
Attention is often focused on measuring project results, rather than observing/ measuring the input assets, which influence final results. One of the least-monitored assets is the team and stakeholders. The Software CMM (Capability Maturity Model) measures the maturity and ability to develop software. The People CMM is a framework for the effective management of an organization’s workforce.
This webinar: introduces the new CEPAS SCH174 certification exam (Measurement Specialist); illustrates the development of ‘maturity models’; discusses the People CMM with measurement suggestions and KPIs for better HR asset management
Attend this webinar and earn 1 PDU, 1 CPD Peoplecert/Axelos and a training credit for the CEPAS SCH174 certification.
