>In today's global economy, the product development cycle has shrunk from
>years to months. Many new products have software embedded within them.
>Companies are finding that the demand for products frequently exceeds
>their capacity to deliver. As a result, many organizations are making
>tradeoffs between product quality and time to market. While perfect
>software is not practical, delivering poor quality software can have a
>negative impact on both customers and suppliers. By the effective use of
>software verification & validation techniques, companies can improve
>quality, which lowers long term costs and increases profits, and get
>products to market faster.

>This one-day seminar will provide you with practical skills that can
>be put to use immediately and help your company achieve quality
>software on time. For example, a practice code inspection will be held
>where participants will learn first hand the skills required to plan and
>conduct effective code inspections.

>managers. This seminar is also targeted to managers who need a better
>understanding of the software development process and the economics of
