RWDG Slides: Using Agile to Justify Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
The Agile development methodology is here to stay. Data Governance is not going away any time soon. These two discipline share some common ground but often compete when it comes to the “right” thing to do when it comes to managing the data. The disciplines need to learn to play well together. The old mantra of “do unto others” applies here in a big way.

The two disciplines are the core of delivering on-time quality data through timely applications. You will walk away from this session inspired to try ideas on your own organization.
This webinar will cover:
• The governance aspects of Agile
• Why Data Governance Practitioners Should Embrace Agile
• Agile considerations for Data Governance
• The audience of both Agile and Data Governance
• How to Use Agile to Justify Data Governance

The document discusses how PMOs can develop business value. It notes that 68% of organizations have a PMO but many are suffering an identity crisis and not realizing their full potential to contribute business value. To deliver value, a PMO must capture, deliver, measure, and communicate value to different stakeholders. A PMO's value comes from providing services like transparency, predictability, alignment, and organizational learning. Adding value is a journey that involves balancing controls with flexibility based on a project's complexity. PMOs should measure key metrics to demonstrate their value and regularly report on progress to stakeholders. High performing PMOs work closely with stakeholders, deliver tailored services, measure progress, and effectively communicate their contributions.

It notes that 95% of bettors lose money due to relying on luck, while professional traders can win by identifying mispriced bets through extensive work and analysis.

Presentation from Simone Wilding (Head of Major Casework) and Dr Pauleen Lane (Group Manager for National Infrastructure) to National Infrastructure Planning Association (NIPA) annual conference on 27 June 2018.
This guidance aims to provide further information for applicants applying for the post of Planning Inspector (Band 1) at the Planning Inspectorate. This document has been updated for the January/February 2018 recruitment campaign.
The Planning Inspectorate is an independent government agency that works to ensure a fair planning system in England and Wales. It is made up of 300 inspectors and 300 staff members based in Bristol and Cardiff. The Inspectorate examines local plans, handles planning and enforcement appeals, reviews nationally significant infrastructure projects, and deals with other environmental and rights of way cases. In the past year, the Inspectorate decided over 23,000 cases, including 20,000 appeals and 58 local plans. The Inspectorate aims to help communities shape development and meet future needs in a sustainable way through its work.
The document discusses reforms to the planning appeals process in Wales that will come into effect in 2017. Key changes include shorter timeframes for submitting statements and responses at different stages of the appeals process depending on the type of appeal. New ministerial targets are also introduced for determining different types of appeals within certain time periods. Regulations are updated relating to enforcement notices and appeals, fees, lawful development certificates, and applications for costs. Overall the reforms aim to streamline the appeals process in Wales.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

ever.”
“What you do is fair in every respect.”
“Inspectors should be appointed
earlier in the process.
“Still too paper based – you should produce all
information electronically and make available on
your website as single point of information for
appeals.”
“Greater use of plain English.”
…but not quick
How are we doing?
16. Stakeholder Conference, 8 March 2016 #PINSconf16
Planning - Appeals Caseload
Received 2004/05 – 2014/15
* includes Householder and Commercial Appeals Service cases
Delays are unacceptable and our no1 focus is on getting back to Business as usual operation as soon as possible;
Focus on 80% target meant that some appeals taking unacceptably long time – we have addressed those and average time for all appeals from start is now 17 weeks (19 wks this time last year); but
Delays to start – at worst was 10 weeks - Delays to start will be at BaU by end of Jan - usual expectation is 7 working days; already there for HAS appeals;
Procedure backlog is then in cases with case officers
Extra resources – internal and external - to get back on track – aim is for April.
Then it will be about inspector resources
More detailed profile for 2014/15:
About 92% are written reps (up from 2010)
About 5% are hearings (steady decrease from 2010)
Just under 3% are inquiries (fluctuated between >2% to >3% since 2010; down slightly on last year
