...Software Risk Management: Principles and Practices BARRY W. BOEHM, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency I) Identzhing and dealing with risks early in development lessens long-tem costs and helps prevent so@are disasters. It is easy t o begin managing risks in your environment. their early stages, the software field has had its share of project disasters: the software equivalents of the Beauvais Cathedral, the hWlS Titanic, and the “Galloping Gertie” Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The frequency of these software-project disasters is a serious concern: A recent survey of 600 firms indicated that 35 percent of them had at least one runaway software project.’ Most postmortems of these softwareproject disasters have indicated that their problems would have been avoided or strongly reduced if there had been an explicit early concern with identifylng and resolving their high-risk elements. Frequently, these projects were swept along by a tide of optimistic enthusiasm during their early phases that caused them to miss some clear signals of high-risk issues that proved to be their downfall later. Enthusiasm for new software capabilities is a good thing. But it must be tempered with a concern for early identification and resolution of a project’s high-risk elements so people can get these resolved early and then focus their enthusiasm and energy on the positive aspects of their product. Current approaches to the software process make it too easy for projects to make high-risk commitments...

...Asset Pricing Model, investors are primarily concerned with portfolio risk, not the risks of individual stocks held in isolation. Thus, the relevant risk of a stock is the stock's contribution to the riskiness of a well-diversified portfolio. 3.

...hemorrhage, placenta previa presents classically as painless bleeding. Bleeding is thought to occur in association with the development of the lower uterine segment in the third trimester. Placental attachment is disrupted as this area gradually thins in preparation for the onset of labor. When this occurs, bleeding occurs at the implantation site as the uterus is unable to contract adequately and stop the flow of blood from the open vessels. Thrombin release from the bleeding sites promotes uterine contractions and a vicious cycle of bleeding-contractions-placental separation-bleeding. Frequency United States Placenta previa occurs in 0.3-0.5% of all pregnancies. The risks increase 1.5- to 5-fold with a history of cesarean delivery. With an increased number of cesarean deliveries, this risk can be as great as 10%. Recent studies show that a previous cesarean delivery did not increase the odds of...

...Top 10 Project Management skills The top 10 project management skills Projects, by definition, have specific start and end dates. Other characteristics of a project include a defined scope, finite budget, specific end results (or deliverables), and assigned resources. Another characteristic of a project is that the work is unique. Even if one project is similar to another, it’s not exactly the same because circumstances change and things are always different when you’re dealing with people. One of the primary roles of managers is to manage the work process. While small projects don’t necessarily require much knowledge of project management or much project management discipline, as a project gets larger, there is more need to utilize formal processes and techniques. Different project management methodologies organize and structure these processes in various ways. The goal for this project management primer is to examine 10 basic skills of project management: 1. Define the project 2. Plan the work 3. Manage the workplan 4. Manage issues 5. Manage scope 6. Manage risks 7. Manage communication 8. Manage documentation 9. Manage quality 10. Manage metrics In general, if you can master these areas, you can succeed in most projects. Project work vs. project management Notice that the list doesn’t include analysis, design, testing, or implementation. Those who have worked on projects probably know that they typically include analysis and testing. However, there...

...communication from the very beginning. Specifically, clear definitions and direction are a must to achieve identified program goals. In this case study, five areas have been identified as the top issues to address and are listed in order of priority. Project Goals First and foremost, the project goals must be defined so we can identify any deliverables, meet specific requirements and ensure the scope of the project timeframe and allocated budget are realistic. The team’s subject matter experts should be consulted to validate all specific requirements and determine if the identified goals are attainable. The Program Manager will measure the group’s performance to ensure the project is completed on time, on budget and produces all required deliverables in order to satisfy the customer. Project Resources Secondly, project resources must be identified and evaluated to ensure the proper use, effectiveness, and determine if they will be shared and readily available. Any potential risks should be identified in personnel, in and outside the team, and the storage and access to required documents. Oobstacles to obtaining timely access to resources and identifying hidden costs and potential team training shortfalls needs to be identified and options developed to minimize the associated risks. In addition, if the resources are to be shared,...

...Don’t Let Your Supply Chain Control Your Business Manufacturers are delegating too much power to top-tier suppliers, undermining their own ability to innovate, cut costs, and manage risk. by Thomas Choi and Tom Linton 112 Harvard Business Review December 2011 1430 Dec11 Choi Layout [S];30.indd 112 10/26/11 10:54 AM hbr.org Illustration: brett Ryder I n the past 25 years, major originalequipment manufacturers around the world have shifted to the Japanese tiered approach to supply chains. They’ve radically reduced the number of suppliers that they directly manage and off-loaded responsibility for supervising the rest, along with the task of building major subsystems, to a handful of firsttier suppliers. The attractions for OEMs were faster new-product introductions, larger volume discounts, reductions in the capital and risks associated with developing and producing the subsystems, and the ability to spend less management time on overseeing the multitude of lower-tier suppliers and more on building core competencies. But we believe that the delegation has gone too far. Our conclusion is based on studies of the practices at some 20 leading multinational corporations that one of us (Thomas Choi) conducted and the longtime experience that the other (Tom Linton) has had as a purchasing executive at such companies as LG Electronics (LGE), Agere Systems, Free scale Semiconductor, and IBM. We discovered that a heavy reliance on first-tier...
