Quality software is a clear goal of any serious software development, but answers to many questions are not completely clear. How to achieve quality? Which dimensions of quality do we need to satisfy? The most important question is - do all of us have the same perception of the kind of quality we are trying to achieve?
The premise of the QED conference is that quality in software development can be achieved. A number of interesting presentations and round tables will in the end result with Q.E.D. [quod erat demonstrandum]

PPM part:
Vladimir Vuk, IBM - Project Management – what is not written in methodologies To successfully complete a project is a great pleasure.

Mario Kovač, FER - Monitoring of great IT projects implementation: FER perspective Clients and suppliers of large IT projects encounter problems when contracts do not provide enough information about what the exact function of some parts of the solution should be. Clients do not necessarily need to know technology, and suppliers sometimes do not know all the details of business processes. Neutral party, such as FER for projects in IT, is able to help both sides to better leverage resources in order to achieve the best solution, and to successfully complete the project to the satisfaction of both parties.
Luka Gauta, CROZ - Business analysis and business psychology – two sides of a coin For a person who is in the middle between the client and the supplier, having excellent communication skills is required.
