PRELIMINARY AGENDA
USC-CSE Executive Workshop on Rapid Application Development (RAD)
Davidson Conference Center, USC Campus
Wednesday, March 11, 1998
Last June, we had a technical Focused Workshop on RAD, which confirmed its high level of importance for our Affiliate organizations. The workshop identified a number of technical opportunity areas to improve RAD such as reuse, architecture, process models, and estimation models; we are addressing these in our USC-CSE research program. In addition, though, a number of RAD critical success factors were identified as upper management issues, such as up-front investments in RAD enablers, staff motivation and incentives, and approaches for achieving RAD without compromising quality. The executive-level Affiliate panelists indicated below will initiate discussion of these and related issues, Asterisks indicate panelists who are invited but not yet confirmed.
