1) The document outlines the process flow for change management in engineering at a company. It involves formal communication from the client, validating the scope of work, preparing change alerts and variation order requests, reviewing the change, updating budgets and schedules, and archiving documents.
2) Key steps include preparing and issuing change alerts and variation order requests, detailed review and quantification of changes, incorporating client instructions, updating project budgets and schedules, and recording the process for future reference.
3) The process involves primary and secondary affected parties as well as a project management team and change management team that reviews and analyzes changes.
Many IT organizations are familiar with the Monday Morning Crisis. Most IT problems are realized on Monday mornings because a change was implemented over the weekend and no formal process was followed. The organization is sent into reactive mode as IT struggles to resolve the issue and get everything back up and running. Change Management was created to handle situations just like this. A good change management process acts like a traffic controller at an airport. It will make certain that everything flows smoothly and that there are limited communication gaps.
CTR, an aerospace part manufacturer, was flow-charted. The company was broken down into 7 main processes from the "Quote to PO process" to the "Shipping to Invoice process". Instead of writing a 300 page manual, the above was created.

Metrics-Based Process Mapping (MBPM) is a powerful tactical-level tool for identifying waste in office, service, and knowledge work environments, building consensus for change, standardizing work, and quantifying improvement.
In this webinar, you'll learn how MBPMs differ from value stream maps and learn the step-by-step approach for creating current and future state maps.
You'll also be introduced to Karen Martin & Mike Osterling's new edition of Metrics-Based Process Mapping, which features an extensive Excel tool for measuring, sharing, and archiving improved processes.
This performance improvement road map outlines the framework for your firm to deliver more, in less time, while being more flexible. By following this approach, you are able to dramatically reduce costs and build a Management Operating System that aligns your facilities, capabilities and processes with senior management’s strategic objectives and drive sustainable bottom-line results.
This document provides descriptions for Incident, Change and Problem management processes configured in the sample projects within the TechExcel ServiceWise ITSM solution. The projects are pre-configured to implement ITIL and service desk best practices for managing and tracking daily activities. Visit http://www.techexcel.com/ITSM for more information.

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:
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
