Surviving the Software Selection ProcessAnthony D'Ugo
I presented at a CMA Ontario professional development event to 50+ attendees on Dec 3, 2009, and again on Dec 17, 2009 due to a sold out first session with an accompanying waiting list.

1. The Thirteenth Amendment effectively brought an end to slaver.docxstilliegeorgiana
1. The Thirteenth Amendment effectively brought an end to slavery in the United States. Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation over 3 years earlier. Why, then, was the Thirteenth Amendment issued? Was it necessary? How come?
2. The Fourteenth Amendment settled the question of who is a citizen of the United States. (anyone naturalized or born here). Why are Indians excluded?
3. Persons who are citizens may not be denied the right to vote according to the Fifteenth Amendment.

The Fifteenth Amendment had been passed almost a hundred years earlier. How could persons be denied the ballot?
4. How could Andrew Johnson, Lincoln's successor, veto the Civil Rights Bill in 1866 when the 13th Amendment had already been passed in 1865? What issues did he cite to justify his veto? (Hint: look at the Johnson primary source)

1. The key elements of supplier measurement are quality, delivery, and price. On the surface this appears to be a simple matter, but what are the complicating factors?
2. David Atkinson, the founder and Managing Director of Four Pillars, a management consulting and training company, states that “supplier relationship management is . . . process-focused. It’s a lot more about how the organization systematically plans, than it is about an ’interpersonal’ skill set of the procurement person or relationship manager.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
3. Supplier performance measurement is an essential lever for successful supplier management that encompasses both pre- and post-contract management. From this vantage point, how would you distinguish the focuses of supplier performance measurement undertaken pre-contract stage versus post-contract stage?

1. Text mining – Text mining or text data mining is a process to extract high-quality information from the text. It is done through patterns and trends devised using statistical pattern learning. Firstly, the input data is structured. After structuring, patterns are derived from this structured data and finally, the output is evaluated and interpreted. The main applications of text mining include competitive intelligence, E-Discovery, National Security, and social media monitoring. It is a trending topic for the thesis in data mining.
Some research needs
Problem definition – In the first phase problem definition is listed i.e. business aims and objectives are determined taking into consideration certain factors like the current background and future prospective.
Data exploration – Required data is collected and explored using various statistical methods along with identification of underlying problems.
Data preparation – The data is prepared for modeling by cleansing and formatting the raw data in the desired way. The meaning of data is not changed while preparing.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

evolutionary). Have we developed (or lost) a key competitive
advantage?
Key Conclusions
End with a succinct final paragraph or two which highlights
your most insightful “a-ha” conclusions on the target segment
and the relative competitive advantage of the three companies
you analyzed.
Q1:
You are a PMP just hired to serve as the head of a project
management office for a large, international corporation. The
company is organized as a matrix organization and is in the
planning phase of a large program consisting of multiple
interrelated projects. The teams which are assigned to these
projects are dispersed in offices in a dozen different offices in
Asia, Europe, North and South America.
5. The program manager invites you to a breakfast meeting along
with two of the senior business managers who are major
stakeholders in the project.
“We would like to pick your brain,” says the program manager
as you settle in at a vacant seat at the conference room table
with a mug of coffee and a bagel. “The last time I led a program
like this, I was extremely frustrated by the lack of effective
communication within and across the project teams.”
“For that project, the company provided us with access to a full-
featured intranet, access to Microsoft Project Enterprise Edition
with licenses for everyone on the project, teleconference lines
and WebEx accounts. The project managers worked up and
implemented a complete communication plan using all of this
technology and a detailed status reporting schedule. We held
frequent meetings throughout the entire initiative”
The program manager ruefully shook his head. “Despite all of
that, I found myself continually being surprised by bad news
almost as soon as the project began.” He nods at the business
managers sitting around the table. “We’ve decided we don’t
want to go through that kind of experience again. We’ve
brought in different project managers this time, and they have
put together another, similar, project communications plan. We
would also like to hear your own thoughts about how best to
promote effective communication for a program like this. What
should we be looking out for, and what other things should we
be thinking about?
How would you respond?
Q2:
6. You have just been hired as a project manager for a medium-
sized company.
On your first day at the company, Rodrigo, a senior vice
president, brings you into his office after introducing you to
some of his other direct reports. After some friendly chatting
about how your onboarding process is going, he asks you for
advice about what he considers to be his biggest headache.
“Our company has grown dramatically over the past five years.
We’re proud of our success, and it’s due in large part to the
commitment of our people to delivering good work,” he begins,
then pauses for a moment. “The problem is that as we’ve grown,
we have to take on more and more projects to support that
growth.”
He continues, “It was simple when we were a dozen people
working together on everything, even though we all had to work
extremely hard. In the beginning, we had to focus intensely on
getting major initiatives completed in order to survive as a firm.
We aren’t facing life-or-death situations anymore, but it seems
every time I turn around, someone wants to get started on
another project. Right now, anyone who has an idea for a
project pitches it to me verbally, and I tell them whether they
should get started on it or not.”
“Some of my decisions have paid off, but too many haven’t. Our
company president told me we need to do a better job of
deciding what we should and shouldn’t do. What would you
suggest we do before approving a project, and how would it
help us?
What would you recommend to Rodrigo?
Q3
You are working in a project management office for a Fortune
500 company. Your job is to provide advice to project teams
which undertake a variety of large and small projects. One day,
you are contacted by Neil, a novice project manager who is part
of a team working on an extremely large and complex software
project. The project is of such a great scale that the team
7. expects to contract a lot of the work out to third party vendors.
“I could use some advice,” Neil sighs. “The lead project
manager for the project has assigned me to handle procurement
management planning for the project. As she suggested, I put
together a team of people to work on developing our
procurement approaches.”
“The team has been debating the kinds of contracts we should
be putting together for the project. We are going to need to hire
at least one vendor to handle some complex software
development for some key subsystems. Joe, the representative
from the finance department, is adamant that all of the
procurement contracts we create will be what he called ‘firm
fixed price’ contracts. He said the company has been burned too
many times by cost overruns on vendor contracts, and the CFO
has had enough.”
“Neither the lead project manager nor I have had much
experience with procurement. We thought it would be best to
talk with you before we discuss this with Joe again. How do you
think we should respond?”
What advice would you give Neil?
Q4
You are a project manager in an information technology
delivery unit of an organization which adopted highly detailed
predictive project management processes several years ago.
They are required for all projects, and while they are expected
to be tailored for each project, their use is closely audited by
members of the organization’s project management office
(PMO). A strategic technology investment committee oversees
all technology projects and approves the project management
approaches used on them.
One afternoon, you are called into a conference room for a
meeting with Ali, the head of the PMO and Gabriela, the new
director of software development. You notice that many of the
other project managers employed in the unit are also in
attendance.
8. Ali calls the meeting to order and begins to talk. “Thanks to all
of you for coming. As you may know, Gabriela joined our group
recently and she is getting ready to kick off a new project which
is intended to develop a next generation knowledge management
portal for us. I’ve explained how we prefer to use our waterfall
SDLC on all of our software projects. She’s told me she would
like to use Scrum for this project. I’ll let her tell you more
about it.”
Gabriela smiles and says, “That’s right, Ali! I earned my
Certified Scrum Master credential three years ago, and led a
number of Scrum teams at my old company. The knowledge
management portal project is expected to involve a lot of
innovation, so I think an agile approach would be best.”
Ali looks around the room at all of the project managers. “I’ve
told Gabriela I’m willing to consider the use of Scrum,” he
says, “but this is a large, highly visible project. I’ve expressed
my concerns to her, but thought I should discuss this with all of
you. Should we try Scrum on this project? What considerations
should we take into account in making a recommendation to the
strategic technology committee?”
What answer would you give to Ali and Gabriela?
Q5
You are a project manager who works on the Technology
Project Oversight Committee (TPOC) for OmniCorp, a Fortune
500 company. TPOC includes a team of senior managers
empowered to oversee the organization’s project portfolio
management (PPM) processes for the company’s information
technology projects. These processes have been in place for
over a decade. Due to a retirement within the past two months, a
new manager named Lillian has come aboard the committee.
She had been given access to a knowledge portal containing
historical project portfolio management historical data. Lillian
has significant expertise in one of the company’s major service
areas, but little prior experience with technology projects.
Lillian approaches you a couple of days before the first monthly
9. TPOC meeting she will attend. “I have to confess I’m a bit
surprised by the project success data I’ve seen in the reports for
the past view years. It looks like the failure rate for our
technology projects is running around 30%,” she remarks.
“Look at the report on this project to create a new product last
year. The project was cancelled only two months after it started,
with over 80% of its budget left unspent. I would have thought
we would demand a 100% success rate. For anything less than
that, I’d expect us to either make drastic changes to the way we
run projects or even start replacing personnel. How are we
getting away with this?”
What would you say to Lillian?
