The Top 5 Ways Cloud Computing Projects
Failed in 2012, and How to Avoid Them in
2013

The Problem
• The hype around
cloud computing
drives some reckless
behavior.
– Speed trumps planning.
– Technology goes untested.
– Expectations are too high.
– Knowledge and experience
are too low.

Failure Pattern 1: Not
understanding your own
requirements.

The old joke is alive and well today.

Watch out for:
• Selecting the wrong
problem domain.
• No, or incorrect business
case.
• Selecting mission critical
systems as the first
migrations to the cloud.
• Selecting legacy systems
as the first migrations to
the cloud.

Failure Pattern 2: Managing-by-
magazine/hype.

We are driven by the perception that the
next best thing will save us.

Watch out for:

• No management of
expectations.
• No validation of
provider claims.
• No links to a
strategic plan, or
architecture.

Failure Pattern 3: Falling in love
with the technology too early.

We need to test and verify.

Watch out for:
• Lack of consideration
and understanding of
other solutions.
• Technology “groupies”
on the project teams.
• Overuse of articles and
books for guidance.

Failure Pattern 4: Lacking holistic
architectural discipline.

Architecture and planning needs to
make a comeback.

Watch out for:
• The thinking that cloud
computing will deliver
us from years of bad, or
no enterprise
architecture.
• Those that confuse
“Agile” as a path to
circumvent architecture
and planning.

Failure Pattern 5: Lacking talent.

Two words: Get Help

Watch out for:
• Political appointees.
• Leveraging providers for
training and guidance,
before selecting that
provider.
• No consideration of
integration, security, or
governance.
• Any of the issues discussed
in the previous slides.

Virtual teams get a bad press - especially in agile world. Anyone who has ever worked in geo-distributed teams know how difficult and ineffective such teams usually are. However due to various good reasons most of the global companies still distribute their teams across geographies. And some of them do it with very good results... Wojciech has been working in geographically distributed teams and/or for remote customers in Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Israel, United States, Australia and Canada for 12 years. Some of these teams were far from perfect, whereas the others were very effective and really successful. Despite changing tools or technologies and evolving agile practices, the most important factor in an agile geo-distributed team has remained the same for years - the human. This presentation covers these values, principles and practices which have proven to be the most important in creating highly productive agile software development culture in geographically distributed environment - including such extreme situations were team members live on the opposite side of the globe (like Australia, Europe and the North America). It also describes how proper tooling not only enables effective remote collaboration, but also provides several advantages over collocated teams.

No one wants to make decisions that lead to disasters. Yet when was the last time you regretted a decision at work – one that cost money and time, brought about unnecessary stress and conflict, hurt reputation and team morale? Do you know what led you or your team to the decisions you now regret? Have you figured out how to avoid making such regrettable decisions and harmful outcomes in the future? Fortunately, you can learn how to minimize everyday mishaps and major disasters through applying decision-making science. This presentation draws on research in decision-making and emotional and social intelligence as well as real-world case studies to help optimize the process of decision-making for leaders, teams, and organizations, with a specific focus on decision-making in nonprofit contexts. Learning Objectives: - How to gain awareness of and escape the cycle of making decisions you and your team later regret in your workplace, thus avoiding disastrous decisions - How to identify a series of problematic thinking and feeling patterns – what scholars call cognitive biases – that cause us to make regrettable decisions - How to take advantage of recent research in behavioral sciences to deal with cognitive biases in the workplace - How to combine intuitive and analytical thinking to help you make the best possible decisions in an environment of uncertainty - How to adapt this research to your needs through easy-to-use strategies for effective decision-making - How to help yourself and your team implement these strategies thoroughly for optimal decision-making processes - How to exert influence effectively on team decision-making from any role in the team, while helping maintain trust, engagement, and commitment among team members - How to identify the competing interests of multiple stakeholders, especially in a context of uncertainty and transition, and coordinate them to achieving the organization’s goals

The Top 5 DITA Conversion and Authoring Pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

When a project is born, the battle for power and control begins … over specifications, stakeholders, vendor selection, goals, technology, budget, etc. Power and control, by themselves, are a poor strategy. Control is linear thinking. Reality, the space where projects happen, is a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff where all the best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry. When they do, reality refuses to bow down to power. Control is man-made power. Strategy is real power. The power to chose, limit and prioritize while allowing for collaborative creativity and shared vision. Yes, strategy (often) defines what needs doing, thinking about, focusing on, and avoiding. But the goal of the work is to shine a light down the straightforward path, or paths, through the complexity while honoring, even savoring, the complexity itself. Strategy is hard, very hard, to do well. The rules are easy. When applied to software development, strategy is an engineering process sometimes called solution architecture. There are four elements of good strategy: 1. Telling the truth insightfully 2. Defining measurable prioritized goals 3. Overcoming hidden obstacles implicitly 4. Creating a construct, the architecture itself, in the form of a document Getting a process back on track when it's gone awry is also essential to a good strategy. This session talks about strategy in general and for a Drupal project specifically.

2015 North Bridge Future of Cloud Computing Study, with Wikibon |Broadest exploration of cloud trends, cloud migration & evolution of the cloud computing sector. Survey participation was the largest to date and included responses from 38 countries. 50 collaborators supported the 5th Annual Future of Cloud Computing study, which reveals that cloud has become an accepted and integral technology. Furthermore, the study shows that despite deployment gaps among clouds, we should expect a future powered by hybrid cloud technologies. The question of whether companies are using the cloud has morphed to how deeply cloud adoption is integrated within the business. From the bottom to the top, all products and services will in some way be powered by the cloud making the promise of goods and services that have the potential to be better tomorrow than today. IT departments have reclaimed the reins on driving company technology strategy and cloud adoption as roles, skills and processes have shifted. Importantly, We’re also seeing the emergence of the cloud as the only way businesses can truly get more out of their data including analyzing and executing on it real-time. On the investment front, 2015 could tip the scale from private to public capital for SaaS companies.

Similar to Why Cloud Computing Projects Fail

Too many projects are not (fully) successful. In many cases this is caused by issues in the management approach. Clients want to know what they get for a fixed budget. But we all know it's almost impossible to fully specify what you need. An Agile software approach proved to work for us. After implementing Scrum our projects went more smooth and we were more often delivering the right results on time. It took time to get this working. For developers it was a bit scary and for our clients it meant they really had to trust us. Today we can see our effort pays off. We wouldn't like to go back to waterfall times anymore.

To become a mainstream methodology, Agile had to overcome many potential obstacles. The first was geography…One of today’s most daunting obstacles is compliance, often bringing heavyweight documentation, required procedures that are very waterfall-ish, complex approval work flows, and complicated approval processes begins Compliance Is A Hurdle, Not A Barrier, To Agile a Forrester Research paper published in July 2011. This presentation will walk attendees through the problem of why organizations trying to manage a software development life cycle or PMO in a heavily regulated industry are fraught with challenges (e.g. externally mandated documentation levels, limiting the requirements and scope of the Product Owner, morale of employees). The presenters will discuss the fact that many of the external compliance standards (FASB, MAS, FSOC) are vague, and worse yet not written with the software development team in mind. In fact one of the risks is the interpretation of policy or external compliance standard remains on the business or with an executive (through personal / fiduciary guarantees). For example, authors of US Federal legislation (e.g. Dodd Frank Act) do not specifically consider software development when writing laws and are often ignorant to the downstream effects of said legislation for a development team based in Russia or India. When asked for clarifications the FSOC does not know enough about software development to provide clear and concise answers and the amount of documentation in the said legislation can be (a) in the thousands of pages and (b) within living documents.

Everyone agrees that technical debt is a burden on software innovation that we would rather avoid, and certainly clean up whenever possible. However, in most organizations, people don't prevent technical debt nearly as much as they should, and they don't ever get the time to clean it up. Why, then, if there are clear incentives to deal with technical debt, is it a rampant problem? In this session, we will focus on how to deal with technical debt on several levels, including the individual developer, the team, the software value stream, and the larger organization. While technical debt may manifest itself in a developer's IDE, the problem starts long before the developer decides to copy and paste some code, or creates an overly-complex and under-documented class. The pressures on teams and individuals to take on more debt than they should come from many sources. Therefore, the solutions to the technical debt problem must extend beyond the team.

DataTalkClub Conference, Feb 12 2021 Creating a machine learning model is not an easy task. Creating a useful machine learning model that gets into production and generates actual business value - is an even harder one. There are many ways for an ML project or product to fail even when the data is there and the model technically performs well. From the wrong problem statement to lack of trust from stakeholders, in this talk I will discuss what issues to look out for, and how to avoid them.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

At its core, the challenge of managing Human Resources data is an integration challenge: estimates range from 2-3 HR systems in use at a typical SMB, up to a few dozen systems implemented amongst enterprise HR departments, and these systems seldom integrate seamlessly between themselves. Providing a multi-tenant, cloud-native solution to integrate these hundreds of HR-related systems, normalize their disparate data models and then render that consolidated information for stakeholder decision making has been a substantial undertaking, but one significantly eased by leveraging Ballerina. In this session, we’ll cover: The overall software architecture for VHR’s Cloud Data Platform Critical decision points leading to adoption of Ballerina for the CDP Ballerina’s role in multiple evolutionary steps to the current architecture Roadmap for the CDP architecture and plans for Ballerina WSO2’s partnership in bringing continual success for the CD

The integration landscape is changing rapidly with the introduction of technologies like GraphQL, gRPC, stream processing, iPaaS, and platformless. However, not all existing applications and industries can keep up with these new technologies. Certain industries, like manufacturing, logistics, and finance, still rely on well-established EDI-based message formats. Some applications use XML or CSV with file-based communications, while others have strict on premises deployment requirements. This talk focuses on how Ballerina's built-in integration capabilities can bridge the gap between "old" and "new" technologies, modernizing enterprise applications without disrupting business operations.

Tracing the root cause of a performance issue requires a lot of patience, experience, and focus. It’s so hard that we sometimes attempt to guess by trying out tentative fixes, but that usually results in frustration, messy code, and a considerable waste of time and money. This talk explains how to correctly zoom in on a performance bottleneck using three levels of profiling: distributed tracing, metrics, and method profiling. After we learn to read the JVM profiler output as a flame graph, we explore a series of bottlenecks typical for backend systems, like connection/thread pool starvation, invisible aspects, blocking code, hot CPU methods, lock contention, and Virtual Thread pinning, and we learn to trace them even if they occur in library code you are not familiar with. Attend this talk and prepare for the performance issues that will eventually hit any successful system.

Why Cloud Computing Projects Fail

1. The Top 5 Ways Cloud Computing Projects Failed in 2012, and How to Avoid Them in 2013 David S. Linthicum CTO, Blue Mountain Labs Email: david@bluemountainlabs.com

2. The Problem • The hype around cloud computing drives some reckless behavior. – Speed trumps planning. – Technology goes untested. – Expectations are too high. – Knowledge and experience are too low.

3. Failure Pattern 1: Not understanding your own requirements.

4. The old joke is alive and well today.

5. Watch out for: • Selecting the wrong problem domain. • No, or incorrect business case. • Selecting mission critical systems as the first migrations to the cloud. • Selecting legacy systems as the first migrations to the cloud.

6. Failure Pattern 2: Managing-by- magazine/hype.

7. We are driven by the perception that the next best thing will save us.

8. Watch out for: • No management of expectations. • No validation of provider claims. • No links to a strategic plan, or architecture.

9. Failure Pattern 3: Falling in love with the technology too early.

10. We need to test and verify.

11. Watch out for: • Lack of consideration and understanding of other solutions. • Technology “groupies” on the project teams. • Overuse of articles and books for guidance.

12. Failure Pattern 4: Lacking holistic architectural discipline.

13. Architecture and planning needs to make a comeback.

14. Watch out for: • The thinking that cloud computing will deliver us from years of bad, or no enterprise architecture. • Those that confuse “Agile” as a path to circumvent architecture and planning.

15. Failure Pattern 5: Lacking talent.

16. Two words: Get Help

17. Watch out for: • Political appointees. • Leveraging providers for training and guidance, before selecting that provider. • No consideration of integration, security, or governance. • Any of the issues discussed in the previous slides.
