How to identify your lowest and highest ROI development practices
A 1-day, virtual, self-guided training class on spotting the development practices that are actually worth their cost — and the ones that aren't.
Most teams can't tell their highest-ROI practice from their lowest without a structured look
Every software organization has development practices that are quietly paying for themselves many times over — and others that are quietly costing more than they return. Without a structured way to tell them apart, teams tend to keep doing both, indefinitely.
This class pairs naturally with Requs AI Optima, Requs AI Risk ID, and Requs AI Predict — but doesn't require any of them. It's built to be useful on its own.
What the class covers
Three modules, covered in a single self-guided day.
Characteristics common to successful software development organizations
What the highest-performing software organizations consistently do differently — not the practices everyone talks about, but the ones that actually correlate with better outcomes.
Without a benchmark for what "good" actually looks like, it's impossible to tell whether a given practice is helping or just adding overhead.
A real wasteful practice, in the data: process maturity ROI bottoms out at CMMi Level 3. Below Level 3, every investment pays off and escaped defect density drops sharply. Above Level 3, returns diminish — spending keeps rising while defects plateau.
Where are the bottlenecks in software development?
A structured way to locate where time, cost, and defects are actually piling up in your development process — instead of guessing based on whichever phase feels the most painful.
Fixing a bottleneck that isn't the real bottleneck doesn't speed anything up — it just moves the backlog somewhere else.
Software gap analysis and the iron triangle
How to run a gap analysis that connects your current practices to the software iron triangle — scope, time, and cost — and see exactly where the trade-offs are actually happening.
This is the same iron triangle framework behind Requs AI Optima — by the end of this module you'll be able to run the analysis yourself, with or without the tool.
