Any metric can be useful for productivity purposes if it is related to task performance or outcomes. More relevant metrics are better, and aligning metrics to organizational strategy ensures activities support the vision. For complex work, developing skills and competencies through training systems is important to continuously improve performance. Competence grows over time through learning in multiple ways, both on and off the job.

Estimating projects has always been an arduous task for organizations around the globe. Methods of estimations vary with different project management techniques.
Agile and Traditional Project Management Homogeneous or Hybrid Mike Otranto
Gartner reports that 75% to 80% of organizations are using some form of agile project management process. Although agile project management has been around for many years, the way we adapt it has changed significantly, especially as project portfolio management (PPM) practices have evolved.
In today's businesses, technology plays a crucial role in our success, but technology also makes things more uncertain. This uncertainty has given us the motive to be more flexible and requires a “think on your feet” mentality. For this reason, we have seen a big spike in Agile PPM over the last few years. So how do we continue to deliver stability and efficiency, the result of traditional style PPM, while also giving in to necessary risks that lead to innovation and competitive edge? It’s simple…. we accept the value in each method, avoid the inevitable pains that will develop with segregation, and opt for a unified agile and traditional PPM model.
Join us in this webinar presentation as we discuss the benefits of bringing Agile and Traditional Project Portfolio Management together in one environment. Topics include:
- The Project Management Evolution
- Agile Project Managment Overview
- The Benefits of Hybrid/Unified PPM
- Hybrid Project Management Tools to Support Today’s PPM

Pat Reed, Principal Consultant, iHoriz, Inc.
Accurate Accounting of Project Labor Cost (Capitalization vs. Expensing) on Agile projects and product development continues to be a source of confusion, waste and risk; and remains a blocker to Enterprise Agile Adoption. A myriad of associated risks (impacting Software Development and Dev Ops) include:
Loss of material benefits of utilizing the an Agile methodology (increasing the cost and risk of software development)
Blocking large scale and enterprise adoption of Agile and residual benefits
Creating inconsistencies in interpretation of project cost accounting and defeating FASB’s original intent of generating an accounting standard to protect investor confidence
Increasing the risk of over-expensing software development costs that should be capitalized
Increasing the risk of false audit findings and possible mis-reporting of financial statements
Limiting organizations and industry from fully adopting and leveraging the benefits of an Agile Software Development Methodology
Possible taxation increases, higher volatility in Profit and Loss (P&L) statements and unnecessary manual tracking of programmer and Dev Op hours
Inappropriately expensing Dev Ops and possibly causing unnecessary and inappropriate timetracking
Missed opportunities for innovation and automation
This workshop offers a practical solution that provides clear guidance to ensure that organizations understand Agile project cost accounting and consistently and appropriately account for corporate investment in software and automation.
We’ll start with a quick review of the problem and define acceptance tests and success metrics consistent with accepted government accounting standards and collectively (or in small working groups) share ideas and design a framework; applying critical thinking tools – (Mental models and Ladders of Inference to increase our understanding of how we think; and challenge mental models to effectively solve problems.
Learning Outcomes from the workshop have potential to be extensible to address related challenges of internal and external audits and remediation of findings; Sarbanes Oxley and General Computer Controls compliance; Regulatory Industry Compliance, etc.

How the Analytics Translator can make your organisation more AI drivenSteven Nooijen
Today, about 80% of companies considers data as an essential part of their strategy. However, although most of these companies are taking models into production, they still have trouble turning their data and insights into valuable AI solutions. With businesses heavily invested in data and AI, what is it that actually makes the difference for being successful with AI?
In this talk, I will argue that the extent to which AI is embedded in the organisation is crucial to success. Furthermore, I will show why the Analytics Translator is the designated person to drive AI adoption by the business and what his or her tasks should look like. The insights shared come from our own experience as consultants as well as interviews with top Dutch enterprises about their AI maturity.
AI Maturity Levels and the Analytics TranslatorGoDataDriven
Buzzwords like Big Data, Cloud, and AI have been out there now for a couple of years. But today, businesses have a clear focus on the application of data use cases and the challenges around that such as metadata management, governance, security, and maintainability in general. Everybody seems to have some version of a data lake and wants to consolidate it into something (more) useful, or move from an on-premise version to the cloud. There is a general need to streamline current practices while also attempting to give multiple segments of users (data scientists, analysts, marketeers, business people, and HR) access in a way that is tailored to their needs and skills. In other words: businesses today are heavily invested in data and AI, but many have a hard time knowing how to mature it to the next level.
This is exactly where a "maturity model" comes into play. The goal of a maturity model is to help businesses in understanding their current and target competencies. This helps organisations in defining a roadmap for improving their competency. A maturity model is therefore one way of structuring progression, whether the company already embraces data science as a core competency, or, if it is just getting started.
In this presentation on maturity models, we answer the following questions:
1. What exactly is a maturity model and why would you need it? We address this by sharing GoDataDriven's maturity model and describing the different phases we have identified based on our experience in the field.
2. How can you use a maturity model to advance your organisation? Having a maturity model alone is not enough, in order for it to be valuable you need to act upon it. This paper provides concrete examples on how to do act based on practical stories and experiences from our clients and ourselves.
Leadership in Transforming Organizational CompetitivenessBill Haser
Presentation to #CIOSolutionsGallery on how to leverage IT to improve organizational competitiveness.
There are two sides of the fence. The evolving nature of IT can compel organizational change. Yet, IT can also help to soften that blow by productively enabling it. Trying to find that balance can be both complex and taxing for any IT leader; however, those transformational efforts are indeed winnable. You just need to know what you are doing. Listen as one highly acclaimed IT leader shares his advice and own “lessons learned” in future-focusing a huge global enterprise through helping to transform its organizational competitiveness.

Northern New England TUG May 2024 - Abbott, Taft, Rugemerpatrickdtherriault
Join us live in Portland or over the wire for networking and two fantastic presentations! Data viz freelancer Desireé Abbott will demonstrate how adding interactivity to your dashboards will delight and spark curiosity in your users. Then, Charlotte Taft & Laurie Rugemer will reprise their TC24 presentation on the keys to building a successful analytics team.
We'll start by considering how Nonprofits use data - toward what ends. Then we'll talk about how "data-people" do the things they do, i.e. what are the basic processes and tools common to any data project? Finally, we'll touch on some relevant technology trends, and consider one of today's hottest job titles: "Data Scientist"
When building a data team from scratch or inheriting an existing team, there are plenty of questions to ask when thinking about how to successfully deliver on our mission to the company. Should data engineering be part of the data organization or does it sit better with the engineering team? Data scientist is a job title that means a lot of different things to different companies, what does it mean to us? Are we aligned around platforms or functions? What's our strategy around data governance and compliance? And that's just to name a few.
This talk will present some insights from prior experience on structuring data teams, both at startups and larger legacy organizations, covering examples that have been both successful and not so successful, and lessons learned in each case.
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data Management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is of a high quality. Determining how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework for utilizing Data Quality management effectively in support of business strategy, which in turns allows for speedy identification of business problems, delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in Data Management, and proactive prevention of future issues.
Over the course of this webinar, we will:
Help you understand foundational Data Quality concepts based on “The DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge” (DAMA DMBOK), as well as guiding principles, best practices, and steps for improving Data Quality at your organization
Demonstrate how chronic business challenges for organizations are often rooted in poor Data Quality
Share case studies illustrating the hallmarks and benefits of Data Quality success

The Use of Functional Size in the Industry.pdfNesma
In this webinar, the emphasis is on the use of Functional Size in the Industry, and we focus on several use cases where functional size helps organizations to make impactful decisions based on objective metrics and data.
While traditional performance metrics often measure individual output or adherence to pre-defined plans, measuring performance in agile teams requires a different approach. Agile teams operate in iterative cycles, prioritizing adaptability and learning over rigid goals. So, why do organizations still measure their performance?
By using the right metrics in the right way, organizations can empower their agile teams to thrive and deliver exceptional results.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

Some metrics are more relevant than others. Aligned ones are better.

Aligning metrics to the strategy of
the organisation keeps the
activities geared towards the vision
of the organisation or project
(Browning; DeMartini). Aligned
metrics become goals.

Strategically aligned metrics are better.
5. With goals, there must be a system towards that goal:
5
When having a system; it must be
viable in order to make it sustainable
(Beer).
● It repeats (Systems one)
● Plannable (Systems two)
● Controllable/visible/auditable (Systems
three)
● Changeable (Systems four)
● Identifiable (Systems five)

7. Competence is required to for complex outcomes
7
In order to deal with complex
outcomes, complex behaviour is
required. Usually this means
something people have to learn
new skills and capabilities.
Because skills are needed in
order to create mastery and
craftsmanship (Collins).
Complex behaviour needs to be trained.

and via multiple means at different

Learning means acquiring relevant
skills in the relevant context. For us
this context is the work environment
(Dochy & Seegers).
