"Frode Ødegård's talk on Lean Software Product Development was both provocative and inspiring. Software development approaches have matured significantly over the past forty years and yet software development is still a very difficult job with a poor success rate. There is a whole continuum of approaches that vary significantly from the formal to the informal. Each has its merits in any given organization for any given product at some point in time. Balance seems to be the key - picking best practices for the job at hand. Frode provided me with a well defined set of principles that I can use to recognize value and waste as our company moves forward so that we can build better software more often."

"Frode's talk on Lean Software Development made the members of our group take a look at their priorities. Frode provided a great guide for balancing development efforts and making sure those efforts will provide real value. The talk inspired people to think out of the box."

"We have been pleased to have Frode Ødegård speak at our chapter. I was struck by Frode's insight, his investment in research, and his clear articulation of complex ideas in a meaningful way to a diverse audience. His sincerity and forthrightness were obvious attracters for this audience."

"In his talk 'Software Quality: Who Needs it?' Mr. Ødegård presented several compelling arguments for companies to use a team approach to implementing quality processes. His presentation contained a number of excellent ideas that have the potential for helping software companies develop software more quickly and with fewer defects."
