Glenn Vanderburg. Craft and software engineeringatr2006
The document discusses the differences between engineering and craftsmanship approaches to software development. It notes that software practitioners are both designers and builders of the software models or source code artifacts. It argues that programmers have a luxury and responsibility to take a craftsmanship approach where they focus on explaining solutions to other humans through writing code that is readable, rather than just focusing on instructing computers. Taking a craft approach helps programmers avoid losing sight of intangible but important aspects like the user experience.

The document discusses a study analyzing grocery prices around the Ohio State University campus area compared to other parts of Franklin County, Ohio. The researchers hypothesized that grocery prices would be higher near campus due to the student population having limited mobility and incomes. They collected pricing data from Kroger and Giant Eagle stores on specific grocery items. Initial analysis found higher prices in the campus area and a correlation between high grocery prices and low-income neighborhoods near campus, supporting the hypotheses. The researchers created various maps and graphs to visualize pricing trends and differences across the county to help inform student shopping choices. Problems with the data quality and collection limited some of the intended analyses.
Sara Lee Corporation announced a major restructuring strategy under new CEO Brenda Barnes in 2005. The strategy aimed to focus the company on its core meat and bakery businesses by divesting other non-core brands and businesses. This was intended to address issues Sara Lee had faced for years, such as declining profits due to a lack of focus from having too many brands in diverse businesses. Previous restructuring efforts and divestitures since 1997 had not solved the problems. Some analysts welcomed the renewed focus on core businesses but others were skeptical it would be enough to address changing consumer habits and competition in the industry.

Vacancy rates edged up slightly but rental rates also increased slightly.

North American Office Highlights Q1 2012Coy Davidson
The office market demand is shifting away from FIRE (Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate) industries toward ICEE (Intellectual Capital, Energy, and Education) industries. This has benefited cities with strong ICEE industry concentrations like Houston, Calgary, Toronto, Seattle, Baltimore, Washington DC, Raleigh, Austin, and Denver which have seen increased office absorption. Markets dependent on FIRE industries like Los Angeles, Atlanta, and parts of New Jersey and Chicago have seen declining demand. While the national office market recovery remains slow, select large markets with strong ICEE presences have seen more robust demand and lower vacancy rates.

This shift has benefited cities with strong ICEE industry concentrations like Houston, Calgary, Toronto, Seattle, Baltimore, Washington DC, Raleigh, Austin, and Denver which have seen increased office demand and absorption. The recovery in the overall office market remains slow as uncertainties in the economy are keeping businesses cautious about expanding and leasing offices. While the national vacancy rate improved slightly, rental rates only increased marginally and a more robust recovery is still needed.
The Houston office market posted positive net absorption of 81,091 square feet in Q2 2011, with most absorption occurring in the suburban sector. Overall vacancy rates decreased slightly to 15.9% from 16.5% year-over-year. Rental rates continued to decline, with the average citywide rate dropping to $22.70 per square foot in Q2 2011.

The employment and construction outlooks remain positive with several large projects underway or planned.
This document summarizes the Houston office market in Q1 2011. It finds that vacancy rates decreased slightly while rental rates continued to decline. Net absorption was positive, driven primarily by renewals taking advantage of lower lease rates.

Job and economic growth remain key to absorbing existing and future office space supply.
Houston's office market saw slowing leasing and absorption in Q1 2013 compared to previous periods. Vacancy rates increased slightly but were down year-over-year. Over 9 million square feet of new office space is under construction, which is expected to boost absorption later in the year.

- U.S. office markets saw modest growth with slightly higher demand and a small drop in vacancy rates. However, the anticipated recovery remained limited as businesses were reluctant to take on more space due to economic uncertainty.
- Canadian markets fared better than the U.S. due to a slightly stronger economy and job market.
- Going forward, both the U.S. and Canadian economies are expected to remain sluggish with little prospect of increased demand for office space given global economic challenges. The U.S. should avoid recession but growth will likely be modest around 1-2% annually.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

COLUMBUS REGION OVERVIEW
The Columbus retail market finished the fourth quarter of 2011 with moderate positive absorption of
108,000 square feet. This is the seventh consecutive quarter of positive absorption beginning in the
second quarter of 2010. Difficulty getting financing is creating pressure for tenants, but retailers also
seem to be in a wait-and-see mode as they consider further news about the economy’s direction. In
economic data recently released, many factors are helping to illustrate the direction of the economy.
For example, the U.S. economy added 200,000 jobs in December according to the jobs report.
MARKET INDICATORS Another example is The Conference Board’s analysis of leading economic indicators which showed
a 0.4 percent growth that suggests the economy will grow for the next three to six months.
