Decomposing Applications for Scalability and Deployability (April 2012)Chris Richardson
Today, there are several trends that are forcing application architectures to evolve. Users expect a rich, interactive and dynamic user experience on a wide variety of clients including mobile devices. Applications must be highly scalable, highly available and run on cloud environments. Organizations often want to frequently roll out updates, even multiple times a day. Consequently, it’s no longer adequate to develop simple, monolithic web applications that serve up HTML to desktop browsers. In this talk we describe the limitations of a monolithic architecture. You will learn how to use the scale cube to decompose your application into a set of narrowly focused, independently deployable back-end services and an HTML 5 client. We will also discuss the role of technologies such as NodeJS and AMQP brokers. You will learn how a modern PaaS such as Cloud Foundry simplifies the development and deployment of this style of application.
The document discusses the changing landscape of application development in the cloud era. It outlines the new requirements, architectures, and platforms that have emerged. Specifically, it notes the shift to mobile-first, real-time applications composed of services. It also describes how "CRAP data" is ingested and processed using techniques like stream processing, batch analytics, and distributed databases on cloud platforms. Finally, it advocates for a new application architecture that is mobile-first, real-time, and composed of decoupled application and domain services.
This document provides an overview of enterprise rich internet applications (RIAs) with examples and lessons learned from real world implementations. It discusses the requirements and benefits of enterprise RIAs, compares various RIA platforms, and shares case studies of companies that have implemented RIAs using the Curl platform to address challenges like linking field data to business processes and providing complex applications via a web-based infrastructure. The document concludes that Ajax is inadequate for enterprise needs, and that Curl has seen the largest enterprise adoption of the four main RIA platforms that aim to meet stringent enterprise requirements.
Gregor Hohpe Track Intro The Cloud As Middle Waredeimos
The document discusses the cloud as a new middleware platform. It notes that in the cloud infrastructure services like storage, queuing, and processing are abstracted and exposed as APIs. It also shows how applications and services can be built by combining these infrastructure services and presenting information through various interfaces like maps, portals, and plugins. The document outlines the agenda for a conference on programming the cloud, including sessions on building blocks, application services, reading/writing data, and middleware in the cloud.
This document summarizes the key characteristics of next generation application servers. It discusses how traditional tier-based architectures are difficult to scale due to their siloed nature. It then introduces the concept of a scale-out application server that uses a space-based architecture with processing units that are self-sufficient units of scale. Each processing unit combines data, processing and messaging. This allows for linear scalability compared to traditional architectures. The document also discusses how middleware virtualization abstracts the physical resources and enables features like location transparency, dynamic service discovery and parallel execution. It provides options for adopting existing applications on this new platform and compares it to traditional J2EE application servers.

Throughout his career, he has worked on large programs for major government contractors and developed integrated master schedules, plans, and cost controls.
Earned Value Management Meets Big DataGlen Alleman
The Earned Value Management System (EVMS) maintains period–by–period data in its underlying databases. The contents of the Earned Value repository can be considered BIG DATA, characterized by three attributes – 1) Volume: Large amounts of data; 2) Variety: data comes from different sources, including traditional data bases, documents, and complex records; 3) Velocity: the content is continually being updated by absorbing other data collections, through previously archived data, and through streamed data from external sources.
With this time series information in the repository, analysis of trends, cost and schedule forecasts, and confidence levels of these performance estimates can be calculated using statistical analysis techniques enabled by the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) algorithm provided by the R programming system. ARIMA provides a statistically informed Estimate At Completion (EAC) and Estimate to Complete (ETC) to the program in ways not available using standard EVM calculations. Using ARIMA reveals underlying trends not available through standard EVM reporting calculations.
With ARIMA in place and additional data from risk, technical performance and the Work Breakdown Structure, Principal Component Analysis can be used to identify the drivers of unanticipated EAC.
Recent College of Performance Management Webinar on using Technical Performance to inform Earned Value Management. Six steps to building a credible Performance Measurement Baseline to connect the dots between all the elements of the program
Starting with an EIA–748–C compliant Earned Value Management System, integrating an Agile Software Development Lifecycle (Agile) is straightforward when there is a Bright Line between the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) and the Sprints and Tasks of the Agile Software Development Process.
The resources listed here are the starting point for anyone interested in applying the principles developed in this briefing for integrating Agile with Earned Value Management projects
A gentle introduction to earned value management systems (neutral)Glen Alleman
Earned value management systems (EVMS) provide a framework for project managers to track schedule and budget performance. Key elements of EVMS include defining the scope of work, establishing a time-phased budget baseline, and periodically calculating metrics like cost and schedule variance to forecast project outcomes. While full ANSI/EIA-748 compliance requires addressing 32 criteria, a simpler approach focuses on 10 criteria like identifying tasks, establishing budgets and schedules, and recording costs to generate regular performance metrics. EVMS gives project managers visibility into whether work is on track and whether budgets need adjustment.
Earning Value from Earned Value ManagementGlen Alleman
This document discusses how to create value from earned value management (EVM) using both bottom-up and top-down approaches. It emphasizes that EVM metrics like SPI and CPI do not capture the underlying statistical nature of projects, and that modeling this requires stochastic modeling and Monte Carlo simulation. It also stresses that creating value from EVM requires relating budgets to work, measuring progress objectively, and relating cost, schedule, and technical performance.
This document discusses the differences between open loop and closed loop control systems and their application to project management and software development. An open loop system does not use feedback to adjust its output, while a closed loop system compares its actual output to a target and uses feedback to correct any errors. For software projects, an open loop approach does not ensure meeting a planned completion date, while a closed loop approach uses feedback from progress measurements to manage toward the target date if deviations occur.
This document provides definitions and metrics for evaluating cost, schedule, and performance on Department of Defense (DoD) contracts using Earned Value Management (EVM). Key metrics include Cost Performance Index (CPI), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), cost variance, schedule variance, variance at completion, and estimates at completion. EVM is required for contracts over $20 million and systems must be validated for contracts over $50 million.
A simple example of Earned Value Management (EVM) in actionPlanisware
The team was tasked with planting 600 trees over 5 days but encountered difficulties on the first day. They planted 70 trees which was 30 less than planned. Costs were higher than expected at $350 due to needing a machine to remove stones. Earned value was $203 but the budgeted cost was $290, resulting in negative schedule and cost variances. If performance does not improve, the project will exceed its budget and deadline. The key EVM metrics - schedule variance, cost variance, estimate at completion and budget at completion - were calculated to assess progress and risks to the project.

Program Management Metrics
• Earned Value
– CPI & SPI performance trend data
– Statistical performance forecast & program EAC
– Modern tools allow program managers to focus on cost & schedule
variances by severity at any level of the WBS
• Schedule Performance
– Critical path analysis and disciplined start/finish metrics provide a
foundation for validating earned value performance
• Requirements
– Tracking to closure by milestone all requirement TBD & TBRs
• Risk Management
– Continuous assessment of risk consequence and likelihoods
– Detailed review of Burn-down and “off-ramp” planning for “red” risk items
45. Line of Business
Program Management Metrics
• Financials & staffing status
– NBAE, EBIT, Cash, Orders, Capital, Overhead and
EP Staffing time-phased plan & actuals
• Customer Satisfaction
– CPAR & Award Fee performance & tracking
• Technical Performance
– Technical performance measurands identify & track
key variables
– Metrics focus on major sources of instability
46. PowerPoint Disappoints
• PowerPoint Management Systems are a vicious cycle
– Baseline systems atrophy when the data gets fixed in
the chart
– Updating charts becomes the de facto process rather
than maintaining the baseline system
• PowerPoint prone to error and lacks objectivity
– Hard to enforce presentation standards and consistently
trend data for “look ahead” indicators
– Currency of information always questionable
– People make mistakes
• Modern Portal Technologies and XML promise
practical alternative to once formidable problems
47. Formidable Challenges
• Wide spectrum of programs representing disconnected islands
or “Fiefdoms” of performance data
• Lack of business process integration
– Business applications are not connected
– Processes are inefficient and plagued by human issues
• Sub-optimal collaboration with partners and suppliers
• Hard to change the way people work
– Expensive to re-train end users
– Risk averse culture resistant to IT and process change
• Legacy systems deeply rooted within many organizations
– Significant resistance to application & systems improvements
within executing programs
– New Capture adoption strategy will not result in tangible process
improvement
• Quickly Concluded that Tool standardization is a Red Herring
– Holistic Processes and Data Liberation are only solution
48. Fiefdoms of Program Performance
In its role as prime/systems integrator, Lockheed Martin Space has the role of having to integrate multiple program cost
and schedule management systems from its supply chain
Space Prime Program
Sister Organizations, Subcontractors
Product & Test Centers
Significant delays in data summarization, system data duplication and transmittal processing
procedures and analysis by business staff…

67. EVM: Backbone of Modern PM
Portal
• WBS Discipline is key for “horizontal integration”
– This is critical for creating “Eventing” between Portal
webparts to synchronize data views cross-system
• Accounting roots makes EVM a fairly disciplined
process which in most all cases has the most up to
date and complete WBS within a Program’s IT
systems
• Within Program Managements systems EVM is one
of the most widely accepted and clearly defined PM
metrics
• wInsight is way ahead of the pack with their XML and
web services architecture (great jumpstart to effort)
