Project Management 2.0 aims to bridge project management and knowledge management by leveraging Web 2.0 technologies and social tools to facilitate collaborative and bottom-up knowledge sharing. Knowledge management approaches have evolved from KM 1.0's focus on explicit knowledge and top-down control to KM 2.0's emphasis on tacit knowledge sharing through social and interactive means. Similarly, PM 2.0 could implement social tools like blogs, wikis and communities of practice to distribute knowledge across stakeholders and diminish knowledge gaps in projects. The goal is to transition from traditional top-down PM to a more cooperative approach that facilitates sharing of both explicit and tacit knowledge.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).

opportunities
5. …So what now?
6. 2. Powering R4D & ‘comms’ with ‘KM’
Three powerful aspects
Strong knowledge sharing… to get a bigger picture and a
wider network and more impact
Strong information management… to feed our
discussions, track and re-use crucial information to
remember the past to inform the future
Strong critical thinking and sense-making… to make
sense of it all and adapt constantly
7. 2. Powering R4D & ‘comms’ with ‘KM’
Strong knowledge sharing
Strong meetings that get your job done
Internally, around organisations, for multi-stakeholder
processes
8. 2. Powering R4D & ‘comms’ with ‘KM’
Strong information management
Storing / archiving / databasing…
…Strong codification mechanisms: consistent file naming,
spelling etc.
9. 2. Powering R4D & ‘comms’ with ‘KM’
Strong critical thinking and sense-making
Learning individually…
…Learning as a team, an organization, project etc.
…For stronger questions, ideas, synthesis, ownership,
content, engagement, survival and embedding

36. The NBDC approach – the set up
Comms is housed by N5
And provided by ILRI
Explicit objective: make the Challenge more effective
4. Examples from NBDC
Coordination through:
Cross-disciplinary effort / sharing
Linking across projects and partners
Supporting national platform engagement
Supporting N-projects to reach their OLM
E.g. N4: “using project management tools and implementing projects in
timely manner and interact[ing] more effectively for higher Nile BDC outcomes
and goals.”
N5: “one single project team, delivering promised and emerging outputs as
required and using technical, institutional and advocacy strategies to bring about
change in the way research, development and policy actors work in the basin”
37. The 10 commandments of NBDC comms
1. Knowledge generated by the Project will be open and
public
2. We value the knowledge of our clients and partners
3. Multi‐purpose knowledge
4. Examples from NBDC
4. Knowledge management: Collect, connect, converse
5. Face‐to‐face communication
6. Advocacy is everyone’s responsibility
7. Communication inextricably linked to outcomes
8. Internal communication and M&E are part of our
communication strategy
9. Partnerships are the key to impact
10. Innovation and ICTs
38. The NBDC approach – new horizons
No formal communication strategy… yet
Strong focus on internal communication
Progressive shift towards external communication (to
‘deliver science’) – F2F / publishing
4. Examples from NBDC
Increasing opportunities…
Policy engagement
Community engagement
Caveats
One country, one language
One institute hosting all parties
But linking all partners and fighting ‘comms laziness’
