Here’s something from the APM PMC SIG that you may find useful in your day-to-day business in Project Control Earned Value and Agile. Now there's a potent combination. This Gold Card summarises the terms and Three Letter Abbreviations used by EV and Agile. It also shows how similar EV and Agile really are.
Even better, it shows how to translate between the two. A project control Babel Fish (for those of you who remember the book...) The real trick is to try and make a mousemat out of it (the PDF that is...not the Hitchhiker's Guide). Remember, this product may help you in your quest to demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.

Earned Value Analysis
Tracking Project Progress
What Is Earned Value?The dollar amount you planned to spend for the work actually completed
Earned Value is the budgeted cost of the work that has actually been performed/completed
Earned Value = Budgeted Cost of the Work Performed (BCWP)
What Is Earned Value Analysis (EVA)?
EVA enables the project progress to be tracked in terms of:
The work that has actually been completed
--- Compared To ---
The work that was scheduled to be completed
Why Is Earned Value Analysis Important?EVA enables the project team to know:If the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
How far the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
If the project is over or under budget
How much the project is over or under budget
Why Is Earned Value Analysis Important?EVA enables the team to address the project’s triple constraints earlier rather than later Scope – re-prioritize/reduce requirements
--- and/or ---
Schedule – adjust the timeline
--- and/or ---
Cost – request additional funding
The Components of Earned Value Analysis WBS – Work Breakdown StructureIdentifies products to be delivered by the project Products or sub-products should be broken down to what can be completed in 80 hours (“80-hour rule”), when applicable
Provides the basis for Distinct products or sub-products – which help to provideValid estimates – which enableTracking earned value / project progress
The Components of Earned Value Analysis Earned Value (EV) ---- or BCWPThe budgeted cost of the work actually performed How much work was actually completed
Planned Value (PV) ---- or BCWSThe budgeted cost of the work scheduled to be performed How much work should have been completed
Actual Cost (AC) ------- or ACWPThe actual cost of the work performedHow much money has been actually spent
The Components of Earned Value AnalysisBudget at Completion (BAC)Dollar amount originally budgeted to complete the project
Estimate at Completion (EAC)Estimate of dollar amount needed to complete the project
Variance at Completion (VAC)Estimate of the dollar amount projected above or below budget
Schedule at Completion (SAC)Projection of the time needed to complete the project
The Components of Earned Value Analysis
Schedule Variance (SV)The work completed vs. the work planned to be completed
SV = (Earned Value – Planned Value)
Tells us if the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
Negative value means the project is behind schedule
The Components of Earned ValueSchedule Performance Index (SPI)Utilized to forecast how long it will take to complete the project
SPI = (Earned Value / Planned Value)
Tells us if the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
Less than 1.00 means the project is behind schedule
The Components of Earned Value
Cost Variance (CV)What we planned to spend on the work completed vs. what was actually spent on the work completed
CV = (Earned Value – Actual Cost)
Tells us if the project is over or under budget ...
This webinar was presented by Stephen Jones, Chair of the APM Planning, Monitoring and Control SIG and Simon Taylor, Vice-Chair of the same SIG on Thursday 11th December 2014.
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.

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:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
