DfSS Webinar Part 2: Delivering better ROI on DFSS Projectsmjames1
Creating a systematic process for design is important for any business – whether it’s designing a new product, creating a new process or leading a new service proposition. Design projects need to be structured to reduce risk, in-build efficiencies from day one and to ensure optimal financial return. But once you have selected your DFSS project and learnt the tools, how do you make sure you can track its success and optimize the business results?
Track Keynote for the Requirements Definition & Management Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Requirements Definition and Management encompasses all of the activities that revolve around eliciting, defining, elaborating, understanding, organizing, reviewing, and communicating business, user, and software requirements, as well as defining solutions based on those business goals and objectives. These activities are done because they help ensure that the applications that are developed solve the real business and customer problems. This track explores the experiences of organizations with tools, techniques, and processes used to effectively define and manage requirements and analyze systems. Analysts, architects, developers, project managers, and others interested in methodology and tools for defining, managing, and analyzing requirements should attend this track.
This presentation reviews how requirement prioritization is a decision process used to determine the relative importance of requirements. The importance of requirements may be based on their relative value, risk, difficulty of implementation, or on other criteria. These priorities are used to determine which requirements should be targets for further analysis and to determine which requirements should be implemented first. We shall discuss the inputs, techniques used, and the expected outcome.
Prioritization of requirements ensures that analysis and implementation efforts focus on the most critical requirements
Study of solution development methodology for small size projects.Joon ho Park
Medium-size system integration or IT Solution Company’s solution development project has limitation as like human resource limitation, budget limitation and expert limitation. Especially it is hard to maintain many IT experts for medium-size and small-size system integration or IT Solution Company. Thus in order to efficiently and beneficially complete projects, medium-size and small-size system integration or IT Solution Company should have appropriate solution development methodology.Solution development projects for medium-size and small-size system integration or IT Solution Company are usually shot-term and small budget so that they need slim and light-weight solution development methodology. But usual medium-size and small-size system integration or IT Solution Company do not have their own appropriate solution development methodology. Thus, if those kinds of solution development methodologies are applied to solution development projects for medium-size and small-size system integration or IT solution company without some modifications, shortage of human resources, incompleteness of solution and deliverables could arouse.Especially unnecessary paper works (deliverables and documentations) to both of projects teams and client’s wastes project resources and time. We analyze previous solution development methodologies and derive mandatory deliverables and optional deliverables. Before deriving them, we newly define procedures and tasks for each project stages which are necessary to projects team and clients, from client and expert of interviews. Our proposed solution development methodology can easily leverage the development overhead of short-term projects. Optional deliverables can be omitted by the contraction between project team and client.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

3. What is Traceability Matrix
A Traceability Matrix is a document, usually in the form of a table, that
correlates any two baselined documents that require a many to many
relationship to determine the completeness of the relationship. - WIKI
I would say: Traceability Matrix is a document, where we would like to
be able to trace back and forth how and where any work product
fulfills the directions of the preceding (source) product.

6. How to Trace
• Has at least one to one relationship
• Makes relationship between requirements & within requirements
• Document the functions next to each of the Requirements they are related to
• Same way Tech Design next to each functions and that’s how till
implementation
• Customer can give inputs when things are ambiguous.

10. Why to use Traceability Matrix
• Has relationship back & forth from Requirement to Implementation
• Makes relationship between requirements & within requirements
• Traces back a function to it’s requirements, or technical design to it’s function, or
even a code to it’s technical design/ function / requirement
• Can check whether any requirement has at least one design solution and by
checking the solution(s) you may see whether the requirement is sufficiently
solved by this (or the set of) connected design(s)
• If you have to change any requirement, you can see which designs are affected.
And if you change any design, you can check which requirements may be affected
and see what the impact is.
• Identify those areas with a higher number of defects and analyze the root causes
Contd..
7/17/2010 BA Conference 10
11. Why to use Traceability Matrix
• In a Design-Code Traceability Matrix you can do the same to keep track of how
and which code solves a particular design and how changes in design or code
affect each other.
Take e.g. the Requirement of UserFriendliness (UF).
• If a design solution does not solve any requirement, it should be deleted, as it is
of no value
• It shows has the system been adequately tested
• It helps to minimize scope creep
• Customer requirements through development and testing verifies that the
customer requirements are implemented and tested
• Most important : It says things that can be reused
• It’s a Six Sigma project management matrix table
7/17/2010 BA Conference 11
12. Previous Stage v/s Current Stage
Previous Stage
• Traceability is just to check required Capabilities
• Check system Capabilities
• Mere Exercise in Thoroughness & Completeness in project
• To show the delivered features & functionalities
• Sometime as just Customer asks
Current Stage
• Advent of Requirement Management tools it has helped support project management
• Helps in Impact Analysis
• Takes care of change management
• Easy to handle Defect management
• Process improvement substantially
• Effective team communication
• Better Project Control
• Assured quality
7/17/2010 BA Conference 12
13. Summary
Traceability is “the ability to follow the life of a requirement, in both
forwards and backwards direction, i.e., from its origins, through its
development and specification, to its subsequent deployment and
use, and go through periods of ongoing refinement and iteration in
any of these phases”.
7/17/2010 BA Conference 13
14. The Myth
Do your duty to the best of your ability, result will
automatically follow.
You may be doing your duty to the best of your ability, but without proper
direction it maybe of no use. Use traceability Matrix…
