Patient engagement involves patients actively participating in their own healthcare through shared decision making and self-management. Research shows patient engagement can improve health outcomes and potentially reduce costs. Telemedicine also improves access to care, especially for remote patients, and increases patient satisfaction by facilitating faster diagnosis and treatment. Both patient engagement strategies like shared decision making and telemedicine can benefit patients and providers. However, more research is still needed to determine best practices and the full cost-savings relationship of patient engagement.

Patents provide inventors with a government-authorized monopoly over their inventions for a limited time. There are three main types of patents: utility patents, which protect inventions or improvements to machines and processes; plant patents, which protect new varieties of plants; and design patents, which protect the visual appearance of manufactured objects. Obtaining a patent is important because it allows inventors to profit from their inventions and deters copying by competitors. Inventors can obtain a patent by hiring a patent attorney or filing a provisional patent application themselves, which establishes an early priority date and allows marking an invention as "patent pending" while a full non-provisional application is prepared.

Earned Value Management is an important topic for PMP and PMI ACP Exam. Since the questions related with Earned Value Management are based on formulas so with practice, these concepts can be mastered and these questions can be answered confidently in the exam.
This document provides information on Earned Value Management (EVM) and Social Cost Benefit Analysis (SCBA). It defines EVM as a technique that uses an integrated schedule and budget to measure project performance. Key terms like Earned Value, Planned Value, and Actual Cost are defined. It also outlines the benefits of EVM and calculations used, including schedule and cost variances. SCBA is defined as analyzing the direct/indirect economic and social impacts of a project on a society. Objectives and criteria for SCBA are described, including establishing the net social benefit and using a social discount rate.
This document provides an overview of project cost management. It defines key processes for planning, estimating, determining budgets, and controlling costs on a project. Section 7.1 discusses planning cost management by establishing policies and documentation for managing project costs. Section 7.2 covers estimating costs by developing approximations for completing project activities. Section 7.3 involves determining the project budget by aggregating activity cost estimates. Finally, section 7.4 is about controlling costs by monitoring project spending and updating the cost baseline.
Earned value management (EVM) uses five basic elements to measure project performance and provide early warning of potential issues. These elements are: budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS), budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP), actual cost of work performed (ACWP), schedule variance (SV), and cost variance (CV). EVM compares the BCWP, BCWS, and ACWP to calculate variances that indicate if a project is under or over budget and ahead of or behind schedule, enabling early problem identification and corrective actions.
The project is 22% behind schedule and 17.63% over budget. Trend lines show declining schedule and cost performance. The analyst projects a cost overrun of $2.45 million, with completion projected 13 months late in March 2020 versus the planned date of January 2019. Major concerns are being over 3 months behind schedule and a growing cost overrun.

This document provides an example of using earned value management formulas to analyze the status of a house building project. The project is 18 months into a 36 month schedule but has only completed 50% of the work, while spending 80% of the budget. Formulas are used to calculate cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance index, schedule performance index, estimate to complete, and variance at complete. The analysis shows the project is over budget and behind schedule based on its current performance.
This document discusses project control processes and earned value management. It provides examples of how to build a project baseline, record actual costs and progress, calculate earned value, and use earned value metrics like CPI, SPI, ETC and EAC to estimate project completion costs and schedule. Key aspects of earned value covered include defining the planned value, earned value, actual costs, variances, and using ratios like CPI and SPI to forecast project performance and completion.
Earned value analysis (EVA) provides an objective method to measure project health by comparing planned, earned, and actual values. It addresses issues with subjective traffic light reporting systems. EVA evaluates schedule variance, cost variance, schedule performance index, and cost performance index to determine if a project is on budget and on schedule. If metrics show a project is behind or over budget, the estimated cost at completion can be forecast using current performance to establish the true projected cost. Ranges for these metrics can guide assigning objective traffic light status assessments.

Earned value management is a project control process based on a structured approach to planning, cost collection and performance measurement.
Earned value helps us manage a project by:
providing data to enable objective measurement of project status;
providing a basis for estimating final cost;
predicting when the project will be complete;
supporting the effective management of resources;
providing a means of managing and controlling change.
Earned value provides information which enables effective decision making by knowing:
what has been achieved of the plan;
what it has cost to achieve the planned work;
if the work achieved is costing more or less than was planned;
if the project is ahead of or behind the planned schedule.
Good planning leads to good project execution and good management information.

In defining a project accounting system for an organisation, the needs of both project management and the finance function have to be met. However their needs differ. By combining project and programme management techniques with financial and management accounting methods, a more holistic approach to capturing metrics is possible. Analysis of this will enable focused effort to improve project efficiency and effectiveness.
This document provides an overview of project cost management processes including developing cost baselines, earned value management, and variance analysis. It defines key terms like planned value, earned value, actual costs, cost variance, and schedule variance. Cost baselines include time-phased budgets for planned costs. Earned value management compares earned value to planned value and actual costs to calculate cost and schedule performance using indices like CPI, SPI, and variance. Variance analysis is used to track project performance and forecast final costs.
A gentle introduction to earned value management systems (neutral)Glen Alleman
Earned value management systems (EVMS) provide a framework for project managers to track schedule and budget performance. Key elements of EVMS include defining the scope of work, establishing a time-phased budget baseline, and periodically calculating metrics like cost and schedule variance to forecast project outcomes. While full ANSI standards for EVMS are complex, adopting a subset of 10 key practices around areas like work breakdown, scheduling, and cost tracking allows for a "simple" EVMS approach suitable for agile projects. Regular generation of metrics helps identify variances early to aid decision making.
A gentle introduction to earned value management systems (neutral)Glen Alleman
Earned value management systems (EVMS) provide a framework for project managers to track schedule and budget performance. Key elements of EVMS include defining the scope of work, establishing a time-phased budget baseline, and periodically calculating metrics like cost and schedule variance to forecast project outcomes. While full ANSI/EIA-748 compliance requires addressing 32 criteria, a simpler approach focuses on 10 criteria like identifying tasks, establishing budgets and schedules, and recording costs to generate regular performance metrics. EVMS gives project managers visibility into whether work is on track and whether budgets need adjustment.
This document provides information on earned value analysis, a project management technique. It defines key earned value terms like budgeted cost of work scheduled, budgeted cost of work performed, and actual cost of work performed. It then calculates various earned value metrics for a construction project, including a cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance index, and schedule performance index. The analysis shows the project is under budget but behind schedule. It also calculates an estimate at completion, variance at completion, and the "to complete performance index" needed to maintain the original budget goal.
The document discusses earned value management (EVM), which combines measurements of project scope, schedule, and resources to assess performance and progress. EVM integrates the scope, cost, and schedule baselines to form a performance baseline for evaluation. Key EVM terms are defined, including planned value, actual cost, earned value, and budget at completion. Variances, performance indices, estimates to complete, and estimates at completion are calculated using EVM data. Corrective actions for cost performance issues may include adjusting resources, evaluating scope creep, and ensuring prompt issue resolution.
This document discusses project cost management principles and processes. It explains that IT projects often experience cost overruns and provides examples. The key processes for managing costs are estimating costs, determining budgets, and controlling costs. Estimating involves developing cost approximations, while determining budgets allocates the estimate to work items to establish a baseline. Controlling costs involves monitoring performance against the baseline and approving changes. Earned value management is presented as a technique to integrate scope, time and cost data to track project performance.
This document provides information on key project management formulas and concepts for the PMP exam. It covers topics like three point estimation, earned value management, forecasting techniques including estimate at completion, estimate to complete and to-complete performance index. It also defines formulas for net present value, return on investment, future value, present value etc. The document uses examples and visuals to explain concepts in an easy to understand manner to help learners pass the PMP exam.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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:

Robin van Emden, Senior Director of Data Science at Network Optix, presents the “Building and Scaling AI Applications with the Nx AI Manager,” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, van Emden covers the basics of scaling edge AI solutions using the Nx tool kit. He emphasizes the process of developing AI models and deploying them globally. He also showcases the conversion of AI models and the creation of effective edge AI pipelines, with a focus on pre-processing, model conversion, selecting the appropriate inference engine for the target hardware and post-processing.
van Emden shows how Nx can simplify the developer’s life and facilitate a rapid transition from concept to production-ready applications.He provides valuable insights into developing scalable and efficient edge AI solutions, with a strong focus on practical implementation.
Figuring out where you are and does your contractor agree?
1. Figuring Out:
Where Are You?
&
Does your Contractor Agree?

Metropolitan College, Boston University
2. The
“How ya doin?”
Problem
Contractor: We’re a little behind, but
it’s not a problem.
We’ll make it up.
What do you say?
8. Here’s the bill!
Month 11
Budget Actual
$1,470,000 $1,869,000
There is a better way!
9. How Do We Measure
“Progress?”
Against the plan …..
Planned 0.77 miles
Actual 0.66 miles
You can always measure something!
10. What Was Accomplished?
Miles of Roadway
Lines of code
designed, written, tested
Drawings completed WBS:
Reports delivered Deliverable
Units delivered Oriented
Square Meters of Paint
Hierarchy
Feet of Steel Erected
Cubic Yards of Tunnel Dug Out
11. You Already Have The Data
You are the PM.
The Mayor wants to know the
status of the project.
Monthly Reports:
What was planned?
What was accomplished?
What did it cost?
12. End of Month 2
1) Measure Progress:
Planned 1.54 miles
Actual 1.49 miles
2) Report Costs:
Planned $294,000
Actual $329,000
13. The “Value” of a Mile
Plan: 7.7 miles
Cost: $1,470,000
Planned Cost / Mile = $190,909
Complete ½ mile:
“Value” = $190,909 ÷ 2
= $95,455
14. The “Value” of a Mile
Plan: 7.7 miles
Cost: $1,470,000

31. Earned Value Management (EVM)
Provides early warning of trouble
EAC reliable ~ 20% into a project
Christensen & Heise, 1992
DOD experience >400 programs since 1977
Without exception:
The cumulative CPI does not
significantly improve during the
period of 15% through 85% of the
contract
In fact it tends to decline!
32. “I did not use EVM because …”
“Not needed on small projects”
“Hard to apply” (Kim, 2000)
“The implementation
requirements, terminology, and the countless
Contractor
rules and interpretations, are perceived as
Excuses
overly restrictive” (Fleming & Koppelman, 2005)
It is difficult to find a balance between the utility
of the EV technique . . . versus the effort it takes
to implement (Quentin & Koppelman, 2005)
34. PMBOK 4th Edition
The to-complete performance index
(TCPI) is the calculated projection of
cost performance that must be
achieved on the remaining work to
meet a specified management goal,
such as the BAC or the EAC.
35. TCPI
A simple formula to change
the world!
“Once our customers start
calculating TCPI, we will no
longer be able to fudge project
cost!”
