This presentation discusses the processes to put in place at the software engineering management level to increase the level of quality and ensure security in developed software. The software processes can be added to any organization but this presentation focuses on small startup corporations that use the internet as a primary tool in their business plan, in this case Neolytica and eGateMatrix. [ed: Neolytica was subsequently purchased by The Dow Chemical Company.] (Spring/Summer 2002)

The presentation was for students in class on Information Engineering at the University of Michigan. It helped introduce them to XML and explain how XML can be used in the business world. (2001)

The Document and Hypertext Processing website gives one an overview. The Demo then allows one to see the system in action. (2001)

The presentation discusses scope creep and how to manage it in small and medium size consulting projects. Included are discussions of what is scope, how to set scope, what is risk, imprudent vs. prudent risk, balancing scope and risk, and assignment of risk. The link points to a summary article. (Summer 2001)

Within software projects, the risk of scope creep can dramatically affect the outcome of the project. Dealing with this risk in a professional manner allows consultants and clients to succeed in every project.
