IBM Rational Software Conference 2009: Process, Project and Portfolio Managem...Kathy (Kat) Mandelstein
Track Keynote for the Process, Project and Portfolio Management Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Software and systems delivery has become a fundamental business process in the global economy, and the ability to adapt to changing market conditions requires that information technology is fully integrated into the business strategy and operations to ensure consistent alignment with business priorities, and better execution.
Executives require visibility and real-time decision support to keep the enterprise focused on solutions to high-priority problems, supported by the ability to measure the performance of current and future IT activities and assets. IT leaders must deliver significant business value and ensure constant alignment of project investments with evolving business objectives. Project leaders must be able to identify, implement and drive adoption of repeatable best-practice approaches for successful execution, and be able to more proactively identify and resolve issues, to reduce risks associated with project failure. All stakeholders must be involved and informed in addressing the changing business needs, especially when variations in project health threaten outcomes.
This track explores topics across several domains that support organizational change and iterative software and systems delivery. Hear and learn from actual experiences across the spectrum of process adoption, portfolio planning and oversight, and execution of major initiatives, programs, and projects. This track is for executives, IT leaders, program managers, project managers, portfolio managers, process engineers, business analysts, and other stakeholders concerned with optimizing IT investments with industry best practices and team unifying tools for more predictability, adaptability, and visibility.

Paul Croft discusses four layers of cloud computing offerings from infrastructure-as-a-service to software-as-a-service. He outlines deployment options for cloud computing from private to public models. Croft asks when a cloud is not actually a cloud and says cloud is an opportunity beyond just consumption and delivery of services.
The document discusses barriers to public cloud adoption and options for using cloud computing. It finds that the primary barriers are concerns about data security and privacy. While private clouds are currently preferred over public clouds, those more open to public cloud see it as less of an issue and view application availability and management as important. The document recommends starting with a test/development public cloud to reduce costs and increase speed and flexibility compared to traditional testing environments.

1. The document discusses how organizations can drive growth and profitability through intelligence, innovation, and best practices. It provides examples of world-leading organizations that achieve high returns on shareholder funds and above-average growth through intellectual property, unique culture, and following best practices.
2. It argues that in today's business environment, organizations must plan from an "outside-in" perspective by understanding influential external factors like the world, national, economic, and industry environments. The intelligent organization also sources over a third of its business information externally to support this outside-in planning approach.
3. Innovation and productivity are imperative for success. It shows countries with the highest standards of living invest heavily in research and development and
The document discusses how virtualization can help organizations achieve maximum value through improved power efficiency, reliability, and more integrated systems. It notes that digital data is growing exponentially and many companies will need to modify their data centers to handle this growth. Virtualization can help organizations reduce costs, improve service delivery, and better manage risk by consolidating servers, storage, and networking infrastructure. When combined with integrated service management tools, virtualization provides improved visibility, control, and automation of IT resources.
The document summarizes findings from a global CFO study on the evolving role of finance. It finds that over 70% of CFOs see themselves in an advisory role, and around 60% believe major changes are needed in finance organizations to keep up with industry changes. It also highlights the benefits of achieving both finance efficiency through standards and providing business insight, finding the highest rewards come from excelling in both areas.
Drive business performance with information analyticsVincent Kwon
The document discusses IBM Cognos Express, an integrated reporting, analysis, and planning solution designed for mid-sized companies. It highlights that mid-sized companies are important drivers of economic growth but often lack tools and resources for effective business intelligence. IBM Cognos Express is presented as an affordable and easy-to-use solution that mid-sized companies can use to gain insights from their data, align resources based on analysis, and capitalize on opportunities.
The document discusses managing and mitigating risk in businesses. It outlines an evolving risk landscape with new technologies, data growth, and regulatory compliance challenges. Different types of risks are described, from frequent low impact issues to infrequent high impact disasters. Key success factors for managing risk include lowering costs, ensuring compliance, protecting data and applications, and securing the data center. IBM is positioned as being able to help businesses fuel innovation, secure data, meet compliance, and secure their data centers from threats to ensure productivity and reputation.
The document discusses how companies are leveraging cloud computing solutions. It provides examples of how IBM has helped various organizations adopt cloud technologies to improve collaboration, access to resources, and IT efficiencies. Key benefits mentioned include reduced costs, improved flexibility, scalability and security. The document also outlines factors to consider when evaluating cloud solutions and ROI areas to investigate.
The document discusses cloud computing as a new IT delivery and consumption model inspired by consumer internet services. It is driven by virtualization, automation, and standardization which enable economies of scale, flexible pricing, and self-service. Adoption of cloud computing will be shaped by analyzing workload characteristics and risks to determine the best delivery models of public, private or hybrid cloud.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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:
