Course Overview

Red Rock Research is pleased to be among the first training providers to offer the new Certified Stable Software Estimator course.

Software Estimation requires a detailed understanding of scope up front, accurate project tracking as the scope changes, and Operational Excellence along the way. Using good customer input, and the User Story Architecture Modeling Language (USAML), a CSSE can create button-up estimtes from User Stories. A CSA (Certified Stable Associate) credential is recommended, but not required, before taking this course.
