Hotle's experience includes technical and application project management, application development, quality assurance, testing and training. He is currently research team leader for GartnerGroup's Year 2000 strategies research team, and a member of the Year 2000 and Applications Development Management and Methods research centers. Hotle's core areas of coverage are software process improvement, including methodologies, project management, quality assurance and testing, and software metrics. Hotle has a degree in business administration, with emphasis in finance and financial economics, from the University of Iowa."
