Inspiration:
"In all the eternity of time, in this infinitely expanding universe, you have for a fact, this one moment. Why then would you want to blow it? Why would you not want to believe in yourself? Why would you want to go through your job, your life, being too soft and fearing failure, afraid to assert yourself, running from conflict, taking abuse from others, playing the victim, not pursuing your dreams, not believing in yourself, not demonstrating the courage to make things happen? Why would you want to operate under the shadow of others instead of creating your own shadow? This is your moment. Life is an adventure. It’s yours to seize. Your career clock is ticking. Now go make a bigger difference." Neal Whitten from the Neal Whitten Group, as spoken in PMI Webinar 'The Wonderful World of Power Skills: Achieving Exceptional Performance.'

Episode 28: AI-Powered Precision with Colin Hammond: How ScopeMaster is Redefining Software Project Success
What if you could predict software project failure before it even begins?
In this episode of Powering ProjeX, host DK sits down with Colin Hammond, CEO of ScopeMaster, to uncover how AI-driven functional sizing is transforming software delivery. From the cosmic sizing model to automated requirement analysis, this conversation shows how you can turn project chaos into predictable, data-driven success.
Guest Bio:
Colin Hammond is the founder and CEO of ScopeMaster Ltd, home of the world’s first AI-powered software requirements analyser. A Certified Function Point Specialist, PRINCE2 Practitioner and COSMIC Functional Sizing expert, Colin brings over 30 years of experience in software delivery, metrics, and portfolio management. He has worked across global enterprises, start-ups, and government programs—unifying deep technical understanding with a passion for smarter, measurable project management.
Key Quote:
“Knowing the size of your software project isn’t just data—it’s your early-warning system for risk, cost, and delivery success.” Colin Hammond.
What You’ll Learn:
🧠 How the COSMIC functional sizing model gives project managers an objective way to forecast effort, cost, and quality.
⚙️ How ScopeMaster’s AI detects missing, unclear, or risky requirements before code is written.
📊 Why “knowable unknowns” are the key to preventing rework and wasted spend.
💡 Why fixing requirements early (“shift-left”) saves up to 50% of rework effort.
🚀 How AI can make bespoke software development faster, cheaper, and less risky than off-the-shelf systems.
This Episode Is a Must-Listen If You:
- Lead or manage software projects and struggle with scope creep or estimation accuracy.
- Want to learn how AI and COSMIC sizing can eliminate waste and improve predictability.
- Are tired of endless “story-point poker” and want measurable productivity metrics.
- Believe that quality starts at the requirements stage, not in testing.
