MoSCoW Rules provide a simple prioritization mechanism for features by assigning them to Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, and Won't Have categories based on user preferences and technical dependencies. A quantitative analysis is important to calculate incentives, penalties, and probabilities of delivering features in each category. Monte Carlo simulations show the 60/20/20 allocation provides good protection against underestimations for Must Haves and some protection for Should Haves, but insufficient protection beyond 100% underestimations. The allocation balances predictability with ambition levels.
Triple Your Chances of Project Success discusses the importance of requirements and risk management to project success. It notes that defining requirements and scope is critical to delivering projects on time and on budget. Not having a clear scope and requirements leads to increased risks such as cost overruns, schedule delays, and failure to meet stakeholder needs. The document recommends taking steps such as involving stakeholders, defining objectives, managing requirements changes, and following a formal requirements process to reduce risks and improve the chances of project success.
Many software development organizations work within the bounds of contractual agreements where the limitations imposed by the “Iron Triangle” of fixed timelines, budgets, and scope challenge their ability to embrace change and focus on value delivery. Agile practitioners often comment that agile contracting is a difficult problem, but proven solutions are rarely presented. Rachel Weston and Chris Spagnuolo offer some tools they have used in their own agile contracting work to help agile practitioners deal with different contracting scenarios while promoting agile practices, protecting the development organization, and still providing value and protection to the client’s organization. Through a combined workshop and facilitated collaborative session, Rachel and Chris present new agile contracting tools that can be added to your toolbox. You will gain a deeper understanding of the problems associated with agile contracting as well as practical solutions for dealing with contracts in an agile manner.

Discounted Cash Flow Methodology for Banks and Credit UnionsLibby Bierman
As institutions prepare for the CECL or current expected credit loss model for the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL), institutions are prudently learning the various methodologies available to them. Discounted Cash Flow or DCF is one proposed methodology. This session presents best practices and use cases for the ALLL methodology. See the recording: http://web.sageworks.com/dcf-webinar/
For decades, persistent failure has marred the delivery of capital investment projects in the resource development sector. Regrettably even though the causes are well known, companies have been slow to respond with effective control strategies. As the scale and complexity of projects has increased so too has the magnitude of shareholder value destruction. It seems that when the biggest projects fail, they fail spectacularly. Performance statistics going back several decades demonstrate that mining projects of all sizes and complexity mostly fail to achieve objectives. For a time, the commodities super cycle, which peaked in 2011, concealed poor capital expenditure discipline. High sales prices cover many sins, but recent price turbulence has exposed companies to a legacy of record impairments and over-priced and under-performing assets unprecedented in the modern era. This has led to a renewed focus on reducing or eliminating capital expenditure. Companies spending on capital developments have an opportunity to apply new levels of discipline to both the allocation and delivery of capital in an environment of stagnating labour costs and increasing competitiveness. Contracting approaches that provide greater opportunities for cost certainty or gross cost reduction are now more readily available as contractors are prepared to accept greater levels of cost and schedule risk to secure work. Mining companies must also improve in-house project management capability, especially in risk management and performance control. Teams of proven performers should be equipped with sound management processes and tools to capture the value of the opportunity at the front-end of the project delivery cycle and maintain that value through to completion. We conclude with an overview of our proprietary capital delivery process and management system to demonstrate a methodology that reduces risks in a project portfolio and greatly increases the likelihood of achieving predictable project outcomes.

Implement Prioritization Techniques To Manage Teams Workload Complete DeckSlideTeam
Prioritization is a form of risk management as by prioritizing the list of features, it manages the risks of cost and value of the project. We always create the least costly yet highest value feature of the project which minimizes the risk. This will further minimize the social and technical risk associated with the project. The objective of this template is to help the company to manage the teams workload and hit deadlines as well as identify the most important tasks and spend more time, energy, and attention on the right things. We have covered the current situation analysis of the company wherein we have shared the companys productivity and revenues for 5 years and project completion Gantt chart covering the completion and delay time period of the current ongoing projects. The need for prioritizing tasks has been covered which focusses on decreasing revenues, project failure, poor resource allocation, etc. Furthermore, the challenges faced by the company along with their possible solutions are considered here. Different models of prioritization techniques are covered in detail such as lean prioritization, MoSCoW, Kano, RICE and ICE. The comparison of these techniques are done and the best one is utilized in the company to prioritize the projects and their tasks. We have also focused on the measurable impact of prioritization techniques in the business such as increased revenues, satisfied customers, better communication, etc. Various dashboards that manage the project task list on the priority basis and project management tool are considered in this template. https://bit.ly/30gHBpz

What is the business value of my project?Joe Raynus
Most projects do not meet their expected business goals even if they are completed on time and on budget. The presentation argues that project teams need to focus more on strategic alignment and delivering business value rather than just meeting schedules and budgets. It recommends that project managers develop a clear problem statement and value proposition upfront, and define project outcomes and benefits in a business case to better link project work to organizational strategy and goals. Taking a more strategic approach will help ensure projects are delivering the expected value and benefits to stakeholders.

Estimation - web software development estimation DrupalCon and DrupalCamp pre...Andy Kucharski
Project Estimation Presentation at DrupalCamps. Presentation discussing risks, methods and recommendations when estimating software estimation with a focus on web CMS (drupal)
Anyone who has ever attempted to estimate software testing effort realizes just how difficult the task can be. The number of factors that can affect the estimate is virtually unlimited. The key to good estimates is to understand the primary variables, compare them to known standards, and normalize the estimates based on their differences. This is easy to say but difficult to accomplish because estimates are frequently required even when very little is known about the project and what is known is constantly changing. Throw in a healthy dose of politics and a bit of wishful thinking and estimation can become a nightmare. Rob Sabourin provides a foundation for anyone who must estimate software testing work effort. Learn about the test team’s and tester’s roles in estimation and measurement, and how to estimate in the face of uncertainty. Analysts, developers, leads, test managers, testers, and QA personnel can all benefit from this tutorial.
