Watts Humphrey, the featured speaker on Wednesday, September 13, 2006 @ IFPUG - ISMA Conference

1st ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL SOFTWARE MEASUREMENT & ANALYSIS (ISMA) CONFERENCE  Sponsored by IFPUG
September 10 – 15, 2006
San Diego, California, USA
Please join the International Function Points Users Group for the next evolution of the Annual IFPUG conference – the First Annual International Software Measurement & Analysis (ISMA) Conference in San Diego. We recognize that there is more to measurement than function points, and hope to see you participating in informative presentations on executive management, metrics, projection management, function point analysis and other functional measures, software estimation, and process improvement. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned measurement professional, ISMA will certainly provide you with everything you expect, and more. This event will be held at the Doubletree Hotel, San Diego-Mission Valley, beginning Tuesday, September 12th through Friday, September 15, 2006, and is preceded by the IFPUG Fall Workshops, beginning Sunday September 10th through September 12th.

IFPUG is proud to announce that Watts Humphrey, founder of the Software Process Program of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University, will be the featured speaker on Wednesday, September 13, 2006. He is a prolific publisher, with two recent books: PSP: A Self-Improvement Process for Software Engineers (2005) and Winning with Software: An Executive Strategy (2001).
