Colin Hammond has spent much of his 30 year career as an independent IT project and programme leader.  He has worked for numerous organisations in the private and public sectors, including KPMG, Aviva, BAT, Sainsburys, Waitrose and the Open University.
He has used functional sizing techniques for the last 10 years to great effect in order to bring greater certainty to software projects.  More recently he has become an advocate of the COMSIC methodology, recognising its superiority and suitability to modern software development techniques and Agile development projects.  Colin is now the CEO of Scopemaster Ltd, where he promotes the adoption of automated analysis for sizing and early quality work as the most effective ways of bringing certainty to software development.You can contact Colin at colin.hammond @ cosmic-sizing.org.
