Introducing the 2013 Agile Salary Survey!

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

Here at ASPE-SDLC we are committed to providing the Agile community with need-to-know information covering both technical and professional topics. In years past we have developed a very specific and focused salary survey for use by the Agile community. And with the growing adoption of Agile methods, the growing demand for Agile training, and the growing value of Agile skills and certification, we have decided to re-launch our Agile Salary Survey in partnership with our friends at Global Knowledge, HP and ICAgile. We want to show the Agile community just how valuable their skill set really is.

We highly encourage you to participate in the 2013 Agile Salary Survey. We want to know about your current position and what is happening in the Agile World. This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete and you can withdraw from the survey at any point. Survey responses are strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate.

A report containing a detailed analysis of survey results will be distributed to participants soon after the survey period closes as well as available on www.aspe-sdlc.com for download.

The 2011 Project Manager Salary Survey

Friday, June 29th, 2012

The 2011 Project Manager Salary Survey is now available for download!

Considering the current state of the economy, we were very eager to see the results of 2011’s salary survey. We received over 1700 responses from around the world. While over half of the responses were from the United States, we also received responses from 86 other countries and found that no matter where a project manager resides, they are very well paid.

In the United States, project managers’ salaries are mostly impacted by 5 factors: years of experience, certification, education, industry, and regional wage rates. As we have found in previous years, women, even with the same years of experience, title and education, have lower salaries than men. Our results show that women make approximately $6,100 less per year than males. Click to continue »

White Paper Wednesday: Predictive Analytics and Data Mining – Why Most Projects Fail and What Really Works

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

by: Chris Knotts, PMP – ASPE Creative Director

As you drive your company forward, harness your data effectively to make sure you’re looking through the windshield, not the rearview mirror.

Tools and software for mining the data available to your organization have now become cheap enough and accessible enough to be available to even smaller-sized companies who wouldn’t have dreamed of them a few years ago. These days, increasing computing power and powerful automation are allowing everyone in the market to conduct amazingly effective predictive analytics. However, you have to know what you’re doing, and there are large pitfalls. In fact, most PADM projects fail, leaving management frustrated and wondering why they seem to be missing the boat on all the potential they’ve heard about regarding new data tools and big data solutions.

In today’s free white paper, data modeling expert Eric King of The Modeling Agency discusses the real-world pitfalls of a PADM initiative, and explains why most PADM initiatives fail, even in the face of these inexpensive and powerful new data tools. He then explains the fundamental factors at play when attempting predictive analytics, and what you need to watch out for to avoid failure in your own company.
