Vendor
Management
If your company is outsourcing its software development, then how are you
planning to manage your vendor? How do you know that the costs you receive
are within acceptable ranges? How do you know if your vendor is
overcharging?
Capacity Planning
If you asked any factory plant manager their capacity level, most
(probably all) could tell you capacity. How many CIO's can do the
same? CIO's are great at telling customers what can't be done, but
few can understand what can be done. As senior mangers become more
sophisticated, CIO's will no longer be let off the hook.
Estimating
Software Projects
How should software projects be estimated? It takes time and effort
to create solid estimates. Estimates need to follow a formal
process. Estimates need to be explainable and they need to be revisable.
Allocation
of Resources?
How do you allocate resources across projects? Just working
overtime is not the best solution to managing resource scarcity.
Organizations need to get a handle on the most efficient way to utilize
staff?
