Job
Satisfaction: It's Highly Overrated
Few managers
are genuinely surprised when the results of an employee satisfaction survey are
revealed. You really don't need the science of statistics to know that people
aren't entirely pleased with every aspect of their work lives.

Improving
Projects by Communicating What's Below the Surface
Project
work is all about things, right? It's about requirements and specifications. Selecting
the technologies to use. Making sure the technical work fulfills the business
needs and product definition. Project schedules and budgets and ship dates and
installation plans. But is it possible that project work is also about people
connecting and working with people?

The primary
cause of failure in data warehousing and enterprise application integration projects
is inadequate, misunderstood source data. Enterprises are turning to automated
tools to profile their source data and map it to target schemas. This automation
will allow them to identify gaps and put strategies in place to address these
data quality issues much earlier in the project
life cycle.

Developing True Business Continuance in Legacy System Environments
In today's enterprise environments, implementing storage solutions that ensure true business continuance presents a major challenge. With many corporations continuing to rely on their legacy systems, business
continuity/disaster recovery (BC/DR) plans must overcome the age-old problem of keeping data secure, despite the fact that closed systems and mainframes remain an inextricable part of the evolving information infrastructure.

ROI
On Requirements Management Tools
Return
On Investment (ROI) is a popular method of measuring the success of process improvements
and IT investments. It is a measure of the dollars returned on dollars invested.
As Jeffery E. Payne points out in his article "Quality Meets the CEO: How to Get
Management Buy-in," ROI is an effective approach for arguing the need for, or
demonstrating the success of, process improvements and IT investments.

When
Is An HR Department Necessary?
How many
employees should a company have before there is a need for an HR Department? As
companies grow, there is a need to administer the HR function, but that doesn't
necessitate an HR Department. In fact, 30 years' experience has shown that until
the company has at least 50 employees, that "department" -- really a function
-- can consist of or be handled by one person...often much to the dismay of that
one person.

Is
Your Project A Real Project?
Well,
no. A great deal of the work that we do isn’t organized into projects, even if
it could be. And that’s a problem, since the project form of work confers a number
of important benefits on the organizations that do them and the people who participate
in them.

Mind
The Vestiges
Have you
ever tried to drive around Boston? It’s nearly impossible to navigate the narrow,
winding streets that meet at odd angles, curve back around, and join in traffic
circles that you find almost nowhere else in the country. Why would any city knowingly
design its streets in a fashion nearly impossible to navigate? Well, there’s an
old story, perhaps apocryphal, that the streets follow the old cow paths from
the days when the Boston Commons was a cow pasture hundreds of years ago.

Elisabeth Hendrickson offers some advice on constructing useful checklists that
are brief but complete.

Project Progress
Too often
failing projects surprise us. Have you ever had a project that seemed to be going
along just fine, and then, when the delivery deadline drew near, suddenly, everyone’s
two months it leads you to wonder, “How could I have missed that this project
was two months late?” “What planet was I on where this project appeared
to be on time?”

Desperate
Times May Not Call for Desperate Measures
Although
it's clear that the slowdown in the economy has affected us all dramatically,
this is not a time to panic. For the first time in a decade we've seen budgets
slashed, projects cancelled or postponed, both blue and white collar layoffs,
and rising unemployment rates. For those of us who remember the last recession,
it's been a long time since we've seen conditions like this, and perhaps the first
time we've seen them arrive so quickly and unexpectedly. For those of you newer
to the industry this is probably like nothing you've ever seen before.

Beware
of Vendors Bearing Solutions
Hype.
Years ago we called it "leaning into the wind." It was a philosophy-maybe
even an art-that enabled software companies to be competitive, to build market
share, and to sell sufficient product in a timely enough fashion to fund ongoing
development. If you leaned too far into the wind, you fell on your face. If you
didn't lean far enough, you would watch their backs as your competition took the
market share upon which you built your dreams.

The
Case for a Vendor-Neutral Network
As a consultant,
I frequently see networks that are built exclusively using equipment from one
vendor. There are some obvious advantages to this approach, but I believe that
the advantages of a vendor-neutral network design philosophy are greater still.
In many ways the situation is similar to what happened in the mainframe world
before networks and client-server applications became common.

Knowing
when software should be released: Is It SOUP Yet?
In a classical
software project, it's easy to tell when software is ready to be released. It
has to fulfill the requirements, it has to have passed testing, and it has to
be ready for the user. It has to have the appropriate documentation and/or user's
manual and/or online help. But, is it Software Operating Usably and Properly (SOUP)?

Management - Current News and Information in IT Management
Sooner
or later, someone steps into your office and says, “You’re a project
manager.” It’s that quick, it’s that unannounced. It’s
as though it’s expected that, just by hearing those words, you’ll
magically know what you’re supposed to do, how you’re supposed to
do it, and when things are supposed to get done. If you’re very lucky, you’ll
increase your salary. If you’re like most, you won’t.
