Hope to see you at SEPG 2008

January 24th 2008

It’s that time of year again when all of the process improvement folks dust off their suitcases and head to their respective Valhallas. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollahs. Yes, Tom Lehrer fans, it’s SEPG 2008, and it’s in warm and sunny Tampa F L A. It runs from Monday through Thursday March 17-20.

Will you be there? Bob Bamford and I will be for sure and are hoping to see you. We’re looking forward to sunshine and visiting with old friends. It’s a great time to swap ideas about the latest tools and techniques for implementing processes improvements that work.

We’ll be busy at the this year’s conference. We’re looking forward to presenting a couple of tutorials this year on the opening and closing days. I’m also participating on a panel with my friend Ron Radice. All in all, it should be fun. The panel’s theme is entitled Has the SEI Gone Too Far? Or Not Far Enough?

Our tutorials include Value-Added Auditing - A pragmatic approach for implementing Product And Process Quality Assurance (PPQA) and Software Estimation Bootcamp. Both of these are fun sessions and involve a lot of interaction with the attendees, so we’re looking forward to presenting at the conference.

Also, I’ll be working with the SEI Partner Network Advisory Board members to futher agenda items that we’ve been working this past year.

Have you tried to view the conference program at the SEPG 2008 website….sheesh

Man, what I wouldn’t do for a simple PDF catalogue that outlines the program for SEPG 2008. Apparently the SEI has automated things a little bit too much. You have to login to a website and jump through all kinds of hoops to get the program.

Once you spend 20 to 30 minutes figuring out how things work, not to mention being required to have an ID just to get the program info, you should be sufficiently consternated to blow off the affair.

yikes…..

i dare ya to figure it out.

Wow…I had pretty much locked up this site with no commenting and no newly registered users, as the ancient version of WordPress I was using was getting hacked with Viagra comments in a major way. Funny how things happen.

Anyway, you can register again and comment on any posts, including the older posts.

We’re back in business. Sorry for the delay.
