Everyone has heard the horror stories of cost overruns on SAP programmes. While there are a few factors which are outside the control of the programme managers (e.g. business change, funding withdrawn) the majority of the responsibility lies at their door.From the programme managers viewpoint it is essential to get early warning that things are starting to slip. One of the quickest way to lose your job is to surprise your board 4 weeks from go-live with the message that the programme is 6 months late.One of the best ways to get this early warning is through implementing a gate methodology which forces a structured review of the programme at pre-defined checkpoints along the way. In essence you build gates at the exit points of the major phases of the programme. Naturally these are also the

ITIL v3 - What You Need to Know about the New Version of ITIL MethodologyBy Jill Knapp The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) v3 was released in June 2007, seven years after the last critical ITIL methodology update. With this new update has come a renewed interest in the ITIL framework in general for businesses in the IT field, as well as concerns about what this means for those who were using v2. Before a discussion of the revised ITIL methodology can begin, however, it is important to understand some basic concepts of ITIL, including its benefits. What is ITIL? The ITIL methodology was conceived in the 1980s by the United Kingdom’s Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA), when the organization realized that a more systematic approach to managing the IT infrastructure on which it had become dependent was required. The CCTA has since changed its name to the OGC (Office of Government Commerce), and in addition to creating the ITIL framework, has co

Extremophiles (organisms able to survive in extreme environments) are a core research element for astrobiologists. Such organisms include biota able to survive kilometers below the ocean's surface near hydrothermal vents and microbes that thrive in highly acidic environments.[33] Characterization of these organisms—their environments and their evolutionary pathways—is considered a crucial component to understanding how life might evolve elsewhere in the universe. Recently, a number of astrobiologists have teamed up with marine biologists and geologists to search for extremophiles and other organisms living around hydrothermal vents on the floors of our own oceans. Scientists hope to use their findings to help them create hypotheses on whether life could potentially exist on certain moo

When looking for life on other planets, some simplifying assumptions are useful to reduce the size of the task of astrobiologists. One is to assume that the vast majority of life-forms in our galaxy are based on carbon chemistries, as are all life-forms on Earth.[22] While it is possible that non carbon-based life exists, carbon is well known for the unusually wide variety of molecules that can be formed around it. However, it should be noted that astrobiology concerns itself with an interpretation of existing scientific data; that is, given more detailed and reliable data from other parts of the universe (perhaps obtainable only by physical space exploration) the roots of astrobiology itself--biology, physics, chemistry--may have their theoretical bases challenged. Much speculation is ent

Most astronomy-related astrobiological research falls into the category of extrasolar planet (exoplanet) detection, the hypothesis being that if life arose on Earth then it could also arise on other planets with similar characteristics. To that end, a number of instruments designed to detect 'Earth-like' exoplanets are under development, most notably NASA's Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) and ESA's Darwin programs.[27] Additionally, NASA plans to launch the Kepler mission in 2008, and the French Space Agency has already launched the COROT space mission.[28][29] There have also been several less ambitious ground-based efforts are also underway (see exoplanet).The goal of these missions is not only to detect Earth-sized planets but also to directly detect light from the planet so that it may

If you want to rank your web site in the top positions within search engine results pages (SERPs), your first tasks are to address how your site is built, how the page content is developed and thematically organized throughout the site, and how the internal navigation is structured. All of these factors impact how your site appears to a search engine.

As I mentioned before I think it is important to take a few minutes and go over the methodology of the Arc world design I mentioned a few day ago. Somewhere along the way I think I wasn’t perfectly clear in relating that this idea is fundamental to the world design of the game, not necessarily in game feature/system design. However, as I also noted, features should be derived from your world design, they are interwoven and ignoring that would cause a lot of inconsistencies. (more…)

I started my professional life as a business consultant. I worked in lot of projects and get involved in many consulting firms. During that period, I co-worked with people from the big six (now big four) and many other small consultant firms. I have to admit that the big lesson I learnt from the big firms -that generally did not find in the smaller ones- is methodology. Methodology is a ‘way of doing things’. Is something that was already test by many people and, when they figure that it really work, they write it down in papers and start teaching it. It’s a kind of ’steps’ that everyone has to follow in order to get thing done better. Even if each of the big consulting firms has their own methodology, the common thing is that they already have it, and their business consultants have to follow it. This is amazing, because it also teach discipline on your daily job. When planning a business, even an online one, you have to take care of the methodology. You

Since much is known about cocaine use in convenience samples from prison inmates, treatments clients or hot line callers, we decided to look for community based users. We wanted to recruit cocaine users via a ‘snowball’ methodology, outside institutions in the field of drug control and treatment. We wanted to know which effects and consequences of cocaine use would become visible with persons who are mainstream citizens or as close to that social stratum as possible.1 Parallel to our line of not wanting cocaine users from classic convenience populations, we also did not want to recruit first snowball contacts among highly deviant and easy to find sub groups like prostitutes, so called junkies2 and full time criminals/prisoners. We feared such deviant lifestyles would contaminate and complicate our findings about the impact of cocaine on life events.In 1987, entry criterion for experienced cocaine users into the study was a minimum lifetime experience of 25 occasions of use. Our fir

We had a comment from someone who stated he liked the balance of this site as I 'lean' to the right while Indy 'leans' to the left. Our projections really went in a similar direction with my projections showing the Democrats picking up 12 less seats than Indy did. Now when I buzz through what appears to be the final numbers I see that I appear to have missed ten seats (If PA-08 holds on for the challenger) that I called Republican that went Democrat, including an embarrassing four seats that I wasn't even bothering to track. There are few more that are not called and possibly could get wrong, but lean the way I picked. Of those same ten races Indy happened to also miss the four that I was not tracking. He correctly projected the Democrat to win in the other six races. On the flip side, Indy incorrectly projected the Democats would win seven races where the Republicans ended up winning. I correctly projected the winner to the GOP in four while I also missed the other three. If ot

I'm currently a Year 2 Electrical Engineering student at NUS - which means I'm fresh out of the base-knowledge modules like Math and Physics and into the real, hard stuff.However, for certain modules, a new ruling has come upon us from the upper management that solutions would not be uploaded onto the virtual workbin for the students, even after all of us have gone through the tutorials in class. Their reasoning was that students would end up not doing the tutorials before class, and it would defeat the purpose. I agree with them on this: we should all go to tutorials. But a tutorial is only 45 minutes long, and by the time the class is over, we have to jostle for the attention of the tutors to answer our questions. Our classes are often packed so tight that we might not have the chance to stay after class. Some of us turn to skipping proper meals or turn up at the next lesson later, or perhaps not even going for it at all. On the flip side, some heck care and just photocopy answers

There are many reasons to be investing these days, and too much opportunity to not have your money working for you.
