THE TOP TEN WAYS TO KEEP YOUR PROJECT ON TRACK
CREATED BY: DAVID COTGREAVE
A number of articles have either dropped in my Office 365 inbox this week, or on various social media feeds, each of them detailing a list of the reasons why IT Projects fail.
That's a rather negative way to approach it.
The best sports teams didn't build success by checking out why other teams were losing - they focussed on winning. You should too.
You can certainly learn from the mistakes of others (and yourself) but instead of dwelling on the A to Z of failures, how about championing the S to L of what happens when IT projects are SUCCESSFUL.
S - is for Skills
U - is for Understanding
C - is for Communication (and clarity)

If it sounds simple, it's because it is. Sort of.
Except, of course, for the fact that behind each of the ten points above there lies a lot of hard work and hard earned experience - sometimes it's like herding cats - but the gains are there to be won.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

The BBC's mission was to educate and inform - How DMI can educate you in the merits of multisourcing.
1. THE BBC'S MISSION WAS TO EDUCATE AND INFORM - HOW DMI CAN
EDUCATE YOU IN THE MERITS OF MULTISOURCING.
CREATED: 07 FEBUARY 2014,
Slightly mixed feelings about this ... as a champion of multisourcing
it's great that such a large and high profile organisation like the BBC
has given an illustration of many of the reasons why multisourcing
makes great business sense. As a licence fee payer it's infuriating that
it cost them just short of £100m to find out the hard way that IT
projects of any size need transparency, a sense of direction and
proper governance.
A true Multisourcing model delivers these things and more.
The BBC's Digital Media Initiative (DMI) was designed to move the
broadcaster away from using video tape to make, store and archive episodes of EastEnders, Strictly Come
Dancing and Call The Midwife.
And as a project it is probably overdue - after all when was the last time you reached for a three-pack of VHS
tapes, hurriedly trying to penetrate the cellophane with your finger nails to tape an episode of your favourite
TV show? Of course in homes these days it's all about Sky+, TiVo, or the BBC iPlayer (itself a masterpiece in IT
terms but one which contradicts business case evaluation - but more on that later).
The BBC, of course has to record a few more TV shows than you do. In the early days video tape was reused to
save money, which is the reason why so many early episodes of Doctor Who, for example, are missing. The
business case for a digital archive was a strong one, unfortunately, the National Audit Office report into DMI
suggests that it was a dog that ran away from its masters.
If only they’d had more archive episodes of Barbara Woodhouse to prevent it going “walkies”.
Confusion and a lack of planning were the main reasons behind the failure of the BBC's £98.4m Digital Media
Initiative.
What????
The smallest SMEs (small to medium enterprises) plan significant IT projects meticulously so that would be the
least you would expect from a multi-million pound, licence payer funded corporation.
And confusion? If you don't have clarity of purpose at the start - DON'T START. If you lose focus mid-project,
pause, flag it up, get clarity and then proceed.
The National Audit Office report added that there was confusion about the technology including "confusion
within the BBC about the use of key terms such as 'archive database' and 'digital archive'."
Problems with getting the system to work had also added to the mix.
The NAO report concludes that nobody was really in charge, nobody could accurately gauge the progress that
had been made, and the BBC's bureaucratic structure meant that reporting of problems was lost in the fog and
not adequately acted upon.
Could multisourcing have saved the BBC some of your licence fee money? Well, it could.
Stoneseed’s multisourcing model certainly gives you transparency, effective governance and alignment of your
IT to your original business case. . ( click here to watch the video
www.stoneseed.co.uk/services/multisourcing/multisourcing-video)
But look at the costs of the project ...
The National Audit Office broke down the total costs for the project and they were divided between;
Contractors (£46.7m);
Information technology (£37.2m);
Partners Siemens/Atos (£24.9m);
Consultants (£8.4m);
2. BBC staff (£6.4m) and;
Other costs (£2.3m).
At its peak in 2011, 184 contractors and BBC staff were working for DMI, which was never completed.
The multisourcing model gives you access to best in class vendors but also crucially assesses your internal
resources and advises upon their efficient deployment.
And multisourcing provides you with a "whole of the market" overview of what is available - off the rack and
who would be best placed to work up something a little more bespoke.
This was a massive project, when the plug was finally pulled, there were commercially available digital
archive systems that could have been bought in and adapted, the multisourcing contracts are designed with
flexibility to do that and that agility tends to significantly reduce costs.
Aside from DMI, the Beeb is getting a little pressure over another IT miscalculation. Its flagship iPlayer catch
up service IS a staggering success story with 242 million hits a month. The only drawback is that it doesn't
require viewers to have a TV licence (the way the BBC gathers the money to make the programmes in the first
place) – so by the BBC’s admission 2% of households (or as the Daily Mail estimates 528,000 homes) could be
getting BBC content for free. The multisourcing approach would have identified this business case flaw at the
outset and suggested ways around it, like encryption that requires entry of a valid TV licence number to view
iPlayer content.
Of course, it would be unfair to single out the BBC; the NHS computer system, the UK benefits system are
examples of the difficulty in administering large IT projects
The common theme is that they are all tax-payer funded. Such large losses would not be tolerated in a
private sector boardroom, heads have rolled and the BBC admits it got DMI wrong and says it has now adopted
new procedures for managing big projects.
Next time Auntie try multisourcing and save us all some money.
