*************************************************************

The imperative for more reliable and trustworthy software is upon us. At
the same time, organizations demand we build more complex systems and deliver
them faster than ever. Add to that the challenge of distributed development
teams, outsourced development projects, changing requirements, and the need
to demonstrate almost immediate ROI on software development.

How can we survive, much less cope?

We have to look at the entire software development lifecycle holistically:
        - Defining sound business cases and unambiguous requirements
        - Architecting and designing scalable and maintainable systems
        - Developing and deploying high quality applications

And all along the way, we need to:
        - Manage our projects wisely
        - Measure what we are doing for real-time feedback
        - Test continuously throughout the lifecycle
        - Provide secure software for the future

At the Better Software Conference & EXPO you'll:

- Become a better, more informed software manager or specialist with an outward,
  customer-focused view of development.
- Learn about the latest tools, trends, and issues regarding agile development
  approaches, plan-driven development methods, and process improvement programs
  such as CMM, CMMI, and Six Sigma for software.
- Find out what others are doing to build security and reliability into their
  software and ways to integrate testing throughout the process to reduce
  risks and lower overall costs.
