The way to success is …
First, have a definite, clear, practical idea ‒ a goal, an objective.
Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends ‒ wisdom, materials, and methods.
Third, adjust your means to that end.

Delivering programs with less capability than promised, while exceeding the cost and planned durations, distorts decision making, contributes to increasing cost growth to other programs, undermines the Federal government’s credibility with taxpayers and contributes to the public’s negative support for these programs.
Many reasons have been hypothesized and documented for cost and schedule growth. The authors review some of these reasons, and propose that government and contractors use the historical variability of the past programs to establish cost and schedule estimates at the outset and periodically update these estimates with up-to-date risks, to increase the probability of program success. For this to happen, the authors recommend changes to estimating, acquisition and contracting processes.

Symposium 2016 : CONF. 401 Jonathan Shriqui EVM: Go Beyond the NumbersPMI-Montréal
The purpose of Earned Value Management (EVM) is to integrate a common rigour of project performance management. Execution is everything with EVM. It requires nothing less than a complete commitment by senior management to fully ingrain a business wide culture of EVM. Do it right, and you will reap invaluable data from and for your project teams. Do it wrong, and it will send you into an abyss of disarray. Proper execution does not guarantee perfect program performance. Rather, it will give you invaluable insight into your schedule and budget. Being ahead of schedule and under budget may have the same negative impacts as the opposite unless you can effectively manage to answer the most daunting question of all: Why? Please join me as we Go Beyond the Numbers of EVM. We will briefly review the basic foundations of EVM (SPI, CPI, etc.) before we seek to not only understand what the data is telling us, but more importantly, how can we use it to our benefit.
BIOGRAPHY
Jonathan Shriqui has over a decade of financial management experience acquired from General Electric & Lockheed Martin on large scale programs. His Earned Value Management (EVM) acumen was refined when he joined Lockheed Martin, in 2007, as part of the successful capture team for the frigate modernization program (HCM/FELEX CSI) for the Canadian Navy. In 2012, he transitioned to the Navy’s arctic patrol program (AOPS) where the EVM reporting requirement demanded a weekly delivery cycle. Since 2015, as part of the BMT Clarity management consultancy, he provides insights and recommendations to the Department of National Defense for the AOPS and Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) programs. Jonathan has earned his PMP and Six Sigma Black Belt credentials and is currently working towards completing his Canadian Risk Management (CRM) designation.

Earned value management is a project control process based on a structured approach to planning, cost collection and performance measurement.
Earned value helps us manage a project by:
providing data to enable objective measurement of project status;
providing a basis for estimating final cost;
predicting when the project will be complete;
supporting the effective management of resources;
providing a means of managing and controlling change.
Earned value provides information which enables effective decision making by knowing:
what has been achieved of the plan;
what it has cost to achieve the planned work;
if the work achieved is costing more or less than was planned;
if the project is ahead of or behind the planned schedule.
Good planning leads to good project execution and good management information.
In defining a project accounting system for an organisation, the needs of both project management and the finance function have to be met. However their needs differ. By combining project and programme management techniques with financial and management accounting methods, a more holistic approach to capturing metrics is possible. Analysis of this will enable focused effort to improve project efficiency and effectiveness.
Webinar - Slimme besluitvorming over project-portfolio’s in asset managementStork
Het maken van de juiste project keuzes is doorslaggevend voor succes, ook in asset management. Het uitstellen van besluiten of het nemen van verkeerde besluiten door complexiteit of ontbrekende data, heeft grote impact op uw team en de projectresultaten. Ook u heeft hier dagelijks mee te maken.
Het tijdig nemen van de juiste besluiten is daarom onderwerp van ons webinar over besluitvorming rond Capex en Opex projecten in asset management. Alles doen is niet mogelijk, niets doen is geen optie: hoe bepaalt u het juiste portfolio? Welke projecten verdienen prioriteit en welke hebben minder impact?
Stork en Flightmap delen hiervoor een methodische aanpak.
Abstract— Execution of engineering projects are tracked against critical metrics such as safety, quality,
delivery cost and inventory. Earned value is a key parameter that helps in assessing delivery (schedule) and cost.
Static shows that 70% of projects are over budget behind schedule, 52% of all projects finish at 189% of their
initial budget and some, after huge investments of time and money, are simply never completed. The rest of this
paper gives a perspective on monitoring project health by Earned value analysis.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
