Agile documentation
The document discusses agile and lean documentation practices. It notes that the fundamental issue is communication, not documentation. Documentation should be evolutionary and seek feedback regularly. Well-written documentation supports organizational memory but poor for project communication. Documentation should be concise with overviews and roadmaps preferred over details. With high-quality code and tests, less system documentation is needed.

Improve IT Business Alignment With An Infrastructure Roadmap
Your Challenge
Infrastructure, by focusing on the reliability, availability, and serviceability of existing platforms, is perceived as a cost center rather than a business enabler.
Business stakeholders look to external vendors, rather than Infrastructure, to exploit emerging technologies. This leads to duplication of effort, inconsistent standards, and ineffective IT governance.
Infrastructure directors are unable to draw a line showing how their activities directly support the overall business goals.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Think of the roadmap as a service, not a product. Its value is inversely proportional to the time since its last update.
Alignment perception issues can be addressed by having the infrastructure practice formally engage and communicate with business stakeholders.
Shadow IT can provide business-ready initiatives that need only to be tweaked to align with Infrastructure’s internal goals.
Impact and Result
This blueprint will help you build:
A formal channel and way of communicating value bottom-up and top-down between IT and the executive team.
A methodology to prioritize and create projects that generate business value.
A tool that can produce multiple outputs of value for different audiences using the same data.
An ongoing roadmap process, rather than a static document, that is able to adjust and react to evolving business circumstances.

THE TOP TEN WAYS TO KEEP YOUR PROJECT ON TRACK
CREATED BY: DAVID COTGREAVE
A number of articles have either dropped in my Office 365 inbox this week, or on various social media feeds, each of them detailing a list of the reasons why IT Projects fail.
That's a rather negative way to approach it.
The best sports teams didn't build success by checking out why other teams were losing - they focussed on winning. You should too.
You can certainly learn from the mistakes of others (and yourself) but instead of dwelling on the A to Z of failures, how about championing the S to L of what happens when IT projects are SUCCESSFUL.
S - is for Skills
U - is for Understanding
C - is for Communication (and clarity)
C - is for Change Leadership
E - is for Efficient Execution
S - is for Systems
S - is for Supervision
F - is for Fact-Rooted analysis
U - is for User input
L - is for Learn
The S to L of SUCCESSFUL.
If it sounds simple, it's because it is. Sort of.
Except, of course, for the fact that behind each of the ten points above there lies a lot of hard work and hard earned experience - sometimes it's like herding cats - but the gains are there to be won.
Just don't start with a list of why projects fail.

This is why flawless cross departmental collaboration among stakeholders is paramount to develop successful product features and to productively manage your tasks as a product manager.
Expert Product Manager Megan Bubley shows how you can:
Properly manage stakeholders and deliver winning features
Utilize organizational relationship management to support your product roadmap
Prioritize feature requests based on business objectives

Deliverable 2 - Using Visuals to Enhance Viewer Perception
Competency
Analyze and interpret perceptual elements of visual media communication to identify effective visual messages.
Scenario
You have been hired by a large law enforcement agency to analyze the images used on advertising billboards in both urban and suburban regions. The billboards visually display a new campaign message to improve neighborhood safety.
During your analysis, you find that the images used on billboards in the urban areas are exactly the same as the images used in the suburban areas. Both images show parents happily talking with law enforcement officers while children run over green lawns having a fun balloon fight. You decide that these images are not sending proper perceptual messages. You decide to create a visual analysis video for the law enforcement agency to share with the administration
For the video visual analysis, you realize you will need to find two new images that are quite different from one another. One image will be used on the urban billboard, and the other image will be used on the suburban billboard. In your video presentation, you will compare and contrast how each image utilizes the following:
1. Compare and contrast the visual elements of cultural familiarity. Explain why it is important to use culturally familiar visuals that are quite different in the urban and suburban billboard images. Include specific visuals in your visual analysis.
2. Identify specific visual examples of the following cognitive elements: memories, experiences, and expectation. Compare and contrast how urban and suburban viewers may be affected differently by those specific cognitive visual elements.
3. Explain the difference between urban and suburban viewers' emotionally engagement with each of the billboard images.
4. Identify visual semiotic codes in both images: metonymic, analogical, displaced, and condensed. Discuss the importance of using these codes. Include specific visuals in each part of your visual analysis.
As you outline your ideas for the video, you decide to record your verbal analysis while analyzing the two visuals in less than seven minutes for added clarity.

8 common project management mistakes — and how to avoid them
IT executives and certified project management professionals reveal the most common reasons projects get derailed and
what project managers can do to keep them on track.
By Jennifer Lonoff Schiff
CIO |
JUN 28, 2017 3:00 AM PDT
So many projects, so much mismanagement. That's the refrain of many IT executives. Indeed, even with project
management software, IT projects often wind up taking longer (much longer) than planned and costing more than
budgeted.
While no two projects are exactly the same, the issues that can affect — and potentially jeopardize — them are
often quite similar. And even good project managers can make mistakes when wrangling a big, complex project —
or when being bombarded with change requests..
Deliverable 2 - Using Visuals to Enhance Viewer PerceptionCompet.docx
The document discusses common mistakes made by project managers and how to avoid them. It identifies the top 8 mistakes as: 1) Not meeting with the whole team upfront, 2) Not breaking large projects into smaller pieces, 3) Not prioritizing projects/tasks, 4) Forgetting that project management involves people management, 5) Not regularly communicating with the team, 6) Letting changes get out of hand through scope creep, 7) Not using project management tools, and 8) Failure to adjust when things go wrong. It provides tips and advice from experts on how to effectively manage projects and avoid these common pitfalls.

Tip 5 recommends engaging with social self-service by providing an engaging self-service portal that users will embrace as a single point of contact. This allows users to help each other and harness their knowledge. Using big data and gamification can further increase value and drive engagement and collaboration.

Chapter 9
Changing Your Requirements-Gathering Mind-Set
The success of any IT project is determined at the very beginning of the project life cycle,
when the IT staff meets with the business clients to gather the requirements. But IT's
track record with this important phase is similar to its history with project management
itself: abysmal. Requirements have been gathered for decades, but most IT
organizations have yet to discover a consistently successful way of sitting down with
business clients, discussing their needs, and translating those needs into a useful
system, enhancement, customization, or software package selection.
In fact, according to some statistics, poor requirements gathering is the cause of about
70 percent of today's technology project failures. That's because passing along one bad
requirement is akin to throwing a stone into a pond and watching how far the ripples go.
According to some calculations, each badly defined requirement results in 10 bad design
statements, which then can multiply to 100 incorrect coding statements. Even if that's
an exaggeration, you can easily see how poor requirements negatively affect application
integrity, maintenance costs, and client satisfaction. This is true whether you're looking
to build a custom system, buy a new software package, or enhance an existing system.
Skipping requirements gathering is like building a house without a plan. For example,
I've seen companies buy software that didn't meet their business needs, mainly because
they wanted to save time on the requirements step. When they tried to modify the
package to meet their needs, they discovered they didn't know the requirements. They
sadly concluded that the step they skipped really did need to be done to make the
package useful.
I often see organizations turn to yet another vendor tool or methodology in their
attempt to improve this situation. But just as with project management, IT is facing a
problem that requires less of a scientific fix and more of a mind-set change that
emphasizes the up-front work of really communicating with business clients to discover
what they need.
From what I've seen in my 24 years in the IT profession and from working with clients
across the country, this is a mind-set change that's way past due, as business leaders
grow increasingly frustrated with the gap between what clients need and what IT
delivers. I learned about the importance of good requirements throughout my varied IT
career, which included stints in analysis, development, production support, project
management, and relationship management. It became clear to me that to have success
in any of these roles, it all starts with good requirements. Everyone who has to read and
use them appreciates them, they increase productivity and quality, and they add
accountability. Finally, a good requirement is measurable because either the end
product delivers on that requirement or it doesn't.

often quite similar. And even good project managers can make mistakes when wrangling a big, complex project —
or when being bombarded with change requests..

Chapter 9
Changing Your Requirements-Gathering Mind-Set
The success of any IT project is determined at the very beginning of the project life cycle,
when the IT staff meets with the business clients to gather the requirements. But IT's
track record with this important phase is similar to its history with project management
itself: abysmal. Requirements have been gathered for decades, but most IT
organizations have yet to discover a consistently successful way of sitting down with
business clients, discussing their needs, and translating those needs into a useful
system, enhancement, customization, or software package selection.
In fact, according to some statistics, poor requirements gathering is the cause of about
70 percent of today's technology project failures. That's because passing along one bad
requirement is akin to throwing a stone into a pond and watching how far the ripples go.
According to some calculations, each badly defined requirement results in 10 bad design
statements, which then can multiply to 100 incorrect coding statements. Even if that's
an exaggeration, you can easily see how poor requirements negatively affect application
integrity, maintenance costs, and client satisfaction. This is true whether you're looking
to build a custom system, buy a new software package, or enhance an existing system.
Skipping requirements gathering is like building a house without a plan. For example,
I've seen companies buy software that didn't meet their business needs, mainly because
they wanted to save time on the requirements step. When they tried to modify the
package to meet their needs, they discovered they didn't know the requirements. They
sadly concluded that the step they skipped really did need to be done to make the
package useful.
I often see organizations turn to yet another vendor tool or methodology in their
attempt to improve this situation. But just as with project management, IT is facing a
problem that requires less of a scientific fix and more of a mind-set change that
emphasizes the up-front work of really communicating with business clients to discover
what they need.
From what I've seen in my 24 years in the IT profession and from working with clients
across the country, this is a mind-set change that's way past due, as business leaders
grow increasingly frustrated with the gap between what clients need and what IT
delivers. I learned about the importance of good requirements throughout my varied IT
career, which included stints in analysis, development, production support, project
management, and relationship management. It became clear to me that to have success
in any of these roles, it all starts with good requirements. Everyone who has to read and
use them appreciates them, they increase productivity and quality, and they add
accountability. Finally, a good requirement is measurable because either the end
product delivers on that requirement or it doesn't.
