Why Do Projects Succeed or Fail?
Discover What Really Makes a Difference
Hello Mark,
For too long, project managers have believed that the right planning leads to the right results.
Yet time after time, independent research shows that the current approach to project management fails to produce the outcomes managers expect – and clients want.
It’s clear the traditional solutions to project management are not working. The key to improving project performance is not planning, but execution – creating and sustaining processes and behaviors that deliver consistent, quantifiable results.
Fortunately, the processes and behaviors to deliver consistent execution results are well defined and quantified. These form the Project Execution Maturity Model.
This identifies the elements that drive effective project execution excellence, giving you a measurable means to assess your status, to target areas of improvement, and to make meaningful progress in the way you deliver projects.
You'll learn:
What processes and behaviors lead to lower operating costs, increased throughput, and significant gains in on-time delivery performance
How to confidently identify and work on the right elements to change
Why achieving greater project execution maturity drives increases to your organization's financial performance
How to replicate success, project after project, by learning how to move your organization from ad hoc project management to control of projects, portfolios and continuous strategic improvement

Many projects experience failures that result in poor project delivery performance or process capacity/reliability degradations after commissioning
Many studies have shown that 60% to 95% of equipment life cycle costs (TLCC) are a result of decisions made (in CAPEX) prior to handover/start-up and transfer to owners (maintenance or operations) in OPEX
Wouldn’t it make common sense to manage the risk of CAPEX project failures in advance and address equipment life cycle decisions in (CAPEX) rather than after commission handover phase (OPEX)?
Shouldn't owners "invest" in project success "insurance" to help ensure that these multi-billion dollar projects are delivered as they were intended?
How deep are your tests? Agile Cymru 2016TSundberg
Manual testing is most often done end-to-end. Tests are performed through the user interface. When testing gets automated, this is where most organisations start. They start with automating the way they do things now. The new way is faster, but it isn’t fast enough. And not robust enough.
It is unnecessarily complicated to understand why an end-to-end test fails. There are usually many different possibilities when something doesn’t work.
The number of possible paths through a reasonably large application will very fast make it impossible to cover them all. Combinatorics is your enemy.
The solution is to minimise the tests that passes through many layers in your application. Minimising doesn’t mean removing the end-to-end tests. They are still needed. But much fewer than most organisations seem to think.
I will show you why the testing pyramid need to be very wide. You will understand why this is an absolute necessity if all possible paths through the application should be tested.
In other words, let me show you why your tests must be very shallow.

Walking Skeleton as presented at ACCU 2015 in Bristol, EnglandTSundberg
A Walking Skeleton has been described by Alistair Cockburn as 'a tiny implementation of the system that performs a small end-to-end function. It need not use the final architecture, but it should link together the main architectural components. The architecture and the functionality can then evolve in parallel.' It is also the theme of the popular book 'Growing Object Orientated Software Guided by Tests' by Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce.
In this session Thomas will start with a clean development environment and develop a walking skeleton for an application. The skeleton will evolve and parts will be added as we gather more and more knowledge about the system we are building.
This will demonstrate how Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) and Test Driven Development (TDD) can be used to drive the development of a Walking Skeleton, keep it running, and grow it incrementally.

The Responsible Developer - XP days Ukraine 2014TSundberg
Developers are the translators between ideas and code. They translate ideas about functionality to code so the end users can benefit from a usable program. This translation has to be done in a careful and responsible way. It should be done by a responsible developer.
What is a responsible developer then?
It is a developer that writes clean, testable and maintainable code. A developer who can explain and describe his work. Someone that knows that he grows by helping his fellow developers and never settles for second best.
I will discuss the properties of a responsible developer and suggest ways you can improve to become a responsible developer.ccc

Innovating Inference - Remote Triggering of Large Language Models on HPC Clus...Globus
Large Language Models (LLMs) are currently the center of attention in the tech world, particularly for their potential to advance research. In this presentation, we'll explore a straightforward and effective method for quickly initiating inference runs on supercomputers using the vLLM tool with Globus Compute, specifically on the Polaris system at ALCF. We'll begin by briefly discussing the popularity and applications of LLMs in various fields. Following this, we will introduce the vLLM tool, and explain how it integrates with Globus Compute to efficiently manage LLM operations on Polaris. Attendees will learn the practical aspects of setting up and remotely triggering LLMs from local machines, focusing on ease of use and efficiency. This talk is ideal for researchers and practitioners looking to leverage the power of LLMs in their work, offering a clear guide to harnessing supercomputing resources for quick and effective LLM inference.

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.
