In enterprise-wide roles the PMO (Project Management Office or Program Management Office) will have responsibility for management and implementation of a tollgate or stage gate process for program and project approval. The purpose of this process is to ensure that investment decisions are made on a sound basis, that project portfolios have been rationalized and optimized, and that solid baseline foundations exist.
This paper we will take a closer look at the tollgate process and its oversight by the PMO.

six sigma DMAIC approach for reducing quality defects of camshaft binding pro...Niranjana B
Data collection for 11 months revealed that 26% of the defects are due to improper camshaft binding. The six sigma approach involves DMAIC approach with statistical tools involved in each stage. The main root are identified and improvements are implemented. The quality is improved by reducing the number of defects
The beginning of a checklist version of the CMMI guidelines. If you would like the original Excel version let me know, and let SlideShare know they need to support Excel files.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.

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.

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
1. Listen to the voice of customer before designing any product or establishing organizational processes to deliver the product or service for meeting customer needs and requirements. 2. Project Based Approach: Unlike traditional quality techniques, six sigma explicitly uses project management concepts, and applies project planning tools e.g. Gantt charts, PERT, planning trees. 3. Process Based Approach: Six sigma project helps to identify problems in organizational processes through detailed process maps identifying relationship and interdependencies between the processes. 4. Quantitative Approach: By using quantitative and statistical analysis, six sigma helps to align project goals with organizational goals by determining that which projects offer maximum benefits at lowest cost. 5. Commitment From All Organizational Levels: To create “Shared Ownership & Responsibility” and to ensure commitment from all levels, six sigma formalizes an organization structure for six sigma projects: Executive Management (also referred to as Deployment Champions) is responsible for sponsorship of six sigma project. Six Sigma Black Belts act as experts for providing guidance and coaching others about the six sigma philosophy. Six Sigma Green Belts serve as a liaison between the Black Belts and the project team. They perform the operations required for the six sigma project and work with the project team to ensure that appropriate deliverables are met. Project team executes the actual project work through guidance provided from six sigma Black belt & Green belt holders. 6. Comprehensiveness: Six Sigma is so comprehensive that it can be applied to companies of all sizes in varying business areas.
If we improve the capability of our processes even by one sigma, then it means at least 10% increase in profits which can translate to millions of dollars.
1. What customers want: This forms the basis for the QFD and shows what are the requirements of the customer. 2. How to accomplish: This is provided by the organization’s technical team, which highlights how the customer wants can be accomplished. 3. Correlation Matrix: This shows how the customers want correlate with the how to accomplish e.g. if customers want a “small BlackBerry”, how to accomplish shows how to accommodate various PCBs in a smaller dimensions. 4. Relationship: This shows the relationship of how to accomplish with what customers want (i.e. strong relationship, medium relationship, weak relationship or no relationship) 5. Planning (Competitive Evaluation): This shows the company’s products and those of the competitors. By comparing the products, the team would know how the company rates on each of the customer’s wants and helps the company in better understanding competition. 6. Target Values: This refers to the value of the product (or design target) as desired by the company 7. Cost to Accomplish: With the help of finance, the project team determines the cost which will be required to accomplish the target values in “6” above 8. Importance Weighting: This shows the importance of the particular feature (e.g. cost/benefit calculation).
