Top 10 most important manufacturing performance indicators in 2019MRPeasy
mrpeasy.com
In manufacturing, there are many outside influencing factors, tracking the performance of an operation with KPI metrics means the difference between success and failure. Here are the most important manufacturing performance indicators.
Nowadays, as the software industry is slowly becoming more mature, software measurement and performance measurement are becoming increasingly important. Organizations need to know their productivity and competitiveness in software development projects for various reasons. In many software development contracts, targets are set for the suppliers to reach. These targets are based on software metrics like productivity, speed of delivery and software quality. In order to check if the targets are reached, it is necessary to measure the functional size of the software product that is delivered and also the functional size of the software development project that is carried out, as there is usually a difference between these two sizes. To be able to use functional size in contracts, it must be measured in an objective, repeatable, verifiable and therefore defensible way. That being the case, the industry’s best practice is to use an ISO/IEC standard for functional size measurement, e.g. Nesma, COSMIC or IFPUG function points. However, these methods only measure the functional user requirements from the total software requirements to be delivered. In activities like project estimation and productivity measurement, the influence of the non-functional requirements is expressed in the Project Delivery Rate (PDR) which is expressed in effort hours per function point. If more than the average amount of non-functional requirements need to be realized in a project (or more severe non-functional requirements), the PDR used should also be higher. In the industry it is customary to set productivity targets based on an average (or calibrated) influence of non-functional requirements and this works quite fine in traditional software projects. In software development projects that are executed in an agile way, this is not always the case. When working agile, there are forces that influence the traditional way of performance measurement significantly, resulting in a number of serious issues. In this paper these issues are explained and a method to overcome these issues is proposed.

Evidence Based Management - Measuring value to enable improvement and agilityScrum Australia Pty Ltd
by Mia Horrigan
Organisations invest in agile processes, tools, training, and coaching, but how much are they getting back?
Has product delivery improved?
How much happier are users and the business customers?
Are employees empowered and enabled?
Traditional metrics might give you insight into improvements of operational efficiency, but the real conversation is about the value created for your organisation by the improved processes. Without measuring value, the success of any agile initiative is based on nothing more than intuition and assumption.
Mia will discuss Evidence based management and how this empirical process can help agile transformations measure and manage the value derived from the transformation initiative. Mia will focus on the 4 Key Value Areas: Current Value, Ability to Innovate, Unrealised Value and time to market, and how these contribute to an organisation’s ability to deliver business value.

Agile software development methodology is sweeping the IT Industry. Many organizations are experimenting with Agility and there are many “brands” of Agile including Scrum, XP, Lean, Crystal Clear and DSDM. Adoption of one of these methodologies could be wholesale in the case of a small well defined project that has no dependencies on other projects and can be completely delivered by a trained and motivated team. As these types of adoptions are rare organizations are looking for ways to ease into Agile practices without losing productivity.
This session is designed to discuss and identify ways that agile enablers can facilitate the transition to Agile practices. Participants learn basic Agile practices as well as techniques for introducing them to the software delivery team. This session will present common software delivery problems and the Agile path to solutions.

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.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

2. On-time or speed
of delivery
“On time” doesn’t mean that what you deliver
will meet stakeholders’ expectations. To measure
on-time delivery, we need a clear picture of what
is being delivered. To visualize these metrics, you
can use the burndown and the burnup charts.
A burndown chart demonstrates how much work
is remaining, whereas a burnup chart shows
the amount of work already completed.

Commonly
used agile
metrics and
measurements
3. Productivity
Predictability
Measure outcome, not output. Evaluate burnup
chart metrics for a product or based on value.
Follow closely the count of stories or features over
time to gain insights into how much the team is
actually delivering.
In a given time, it reflects how much work has
been completed at a sustainable pace on average.
If this metric fluctuates wildly, it indicates:
• team and scope changes
• unpredictable events happening
• the team is not mature enough to define the
amount of work small enough to complete
4
5
Product quality
Project visibility
To measure the product’s quality use:
• tracking customer satisfaction,
• steady revenue growth,
• testing success throughout the whole
development cycle.
It’s essential to look at the velocity of completing
working software with quality built-in.
Transparency builds trust across the team
and stakeholders:
• provide plans ahead of actions
• consistently track and share progress
• present results
Visibility brings alignment among internal teams
and reflects each team member’s impact in the given
time frame. It helps stakeholders make informed
decisions and identify possible risks.

4. Customer/user satisfaction
Business value
The metrics to assess customer/user satisfaction
differ from product to product and may include:
• sales numbers and growth
• the number of support calls
• features delivered in a time period
• product usage statistics
Sometimes measuring value has to be viewed from
a subjective, since the market drives decisions and
the value is often the best guess. If we were to draw
a formula, it would be a business value score applied
to the features to be delivered.
A more productive
way to measure agile
is to focus on (and
measure) the value
agile can bring you.
How to
measure
value in agile
5. Product scope
(features, functionalities,
requirements, etc.)
Effective way to measure
the value of agile
Setting short-term goals and tracking progress not
only feels rewarding and keeps the team engaged,
but also creates a real-time feedback loop with
invaluable information for any team member
or manager involved.
Effective way to measure the value of agile
is to track key performance indicators (KPIs) that
align with value. These can include:
Usage index: What features are people actually
using? Measure what’s valuable to your users, an
indispensable KPI for business value. By tracking
the usage index of features in a production setting,
you can prioritize the features that offer the greatest
return on investment.
Innovation rate: Innovation rate measures the
capacity of a team to build value-driven features
versus non-discretionary work. The more a team is
burdened with maintaining existing systems, the
less bandwidth it has to innovate, grow, and create a
competitive advantage. By reducing an application’s
support needs, you can increase a team’s innovation
rate and focus on creating new, value-driven features.
On-product index: An on-product index is the
measure of time a team spends working on the
product. Measure the efficiency of how a team is run
and how much they’re contributing to a product’s
growth. By reducing unnecessary meetings, you can
increase a team’s on-product index.
Installed version index: Similar to the innovation rate
KPI, the installed version index measures the number
of versions of an application that require support. Each
supported version increases the required support
needs, thus lowering a team’s ability to focus on value-
driven features and innovate.
6. Here are some questions
to ask that can help:
What’s the problem or challenge
we’re trying to solve?
What’s the simplest and quickest solution
to solving the problem?
Is this useful to our customers?
Are users using it?
How can we validate that what we’re building
is the right thing?
What’s the shortest path to value, both
to our customers and to our organization?
What’s our minimum viable product (MVP)?
