Software Reuse In DoD: Observations and Implications
"Lunch and Learn" Webinar February 14

FREE 45-minute Webinar

Date: Thursday, February 14, 2008
Time:12:00 - 12:45 PM (US EST)
Location:Online Webinar (passcode emailed upon registration)
Format:Interactive / Lecture
Facilitator: Jeff Murphey, Senior Executive Consultant at PRICE Systems

For the past 15 years, the Department of Defense (DoD) has placed increasing emphasis on the identification and exploitation of software reuse opportunities when developing new weapon systems. Unfortunately, the results have been mixed at best. This Webinar will discuss the strategies and rationale for reusing software artifacts, explore software reuse pitfalls, and outline what prevents successful implementations. The Webinar will also present common techniques and methods that can be used to improve cost estimates for programs that rely heavily on existing software.

"Lunch and Learn" educational Webinars address Program Affordability Management topics that our customers feel are vitally important to today's procurement, cost management, and program management professionals.
