This is
a practical team-based seminar to show how to perform effective
walkthroughs and reviews of project deliverables.
You will learn the terminology, the unique issues, and the process for
performing walkthroughs and inspections.
As a
result of attending this seminar,
you should have a good working knowledge of what it takes to perform
reviews of project deliverables.
This course will help you become more comfortable
and confident in performing reviews.
You
will emerge from this one-day session knowing how to plan and conduct a
walkthrough or review.
Walkthroughs
and reviews are powerful techniques that allow people to
find defects early in a project before the defects become more
difficult and expensive to fix later in the project.
Each
module is divided into two parts: the process (walkthroughs,
reviews, and inspections) and team-based exercises to review documents
using the processes taught in the module.
As a
result of attending this seminar, you should have a good working
knowledge of three types of reviews: walkthroughs, project reviews, and
technical inspections, and what it takes to design and conduct an
effective review of software deliverables, regardless of the
technology.
