Challenges

  • Conventional evaluation methods for software are often difficult to learn and apply. Are there simpler approaches that are easily adopted?
  • Profound analysis methods often require many participants. Can reviews be carried out in smaller groups or even alone?
  • Many evaluation methods only deliver raw results that subsequently need to be analyzed, summarized and linked back to goals. Is it possible to get Management-ready results early on?
  • The more critical the situation, the more complex the review. How can you adjust the scope and depth of a review appropriately?

In this edition

  • LASR as a ‘Pre-Mortem on steroids’
  • Quick identification of objective evaluation criteria
  • Scaling a software review to your needs
  • Easy communication of findings
