    Project Portfolio Management: Three Dangerous Myths 23 February, 2010 04:12:00

    Sound PPM projects begin with a clear-eyed assessment of the organization's PPM maturity level and its appetite and ability to advance
    The Standish Group's "CHAOS Summary 2009" report shows a marked decrease in IT project success rates, with 32 percent of all projects succeeding. It's one thing to know that 68 percent of all IT projects don't succeed. But it's another to look across your company and realize you have no way of knowing which of your projects might be in the 68 percent bucket and which have the potential to be in the 32 percent bucket.

    ABC music mashup shows off the Semantic Web 11 October, 2009 14:42:00

    Australian Broadcasting Corporation leads the way into a brave new world.
    Until recently, the idea of a World Wide Web in which information and services are defined - the Semantic Web - has remained something developers aspire to rather than a reality. That is starting to change. Earlier this year, the ABC launched three new socially networked digital radio websites which aggregate content from several different sources, including MusicBrainz, YouTube, Last.fm and Wikipedia. It is not only a new approach for a content-rich organisation such as the ABC, it is a working example of the possibilities of Semantic Web technology.

    Moving a data centre isn't easy under the best of circumstances. And no matter how hard you plan, there are still things that you don't think about
    It isn't often that you have access to your local neighborhood data centre, literally a few steps down the block. But I did. I live in a residential area of the US state of St. Louis called the Central West End, and I pass by the offices of the Regional Justice Information Service (REJIS) almost every day. When I learned that it was going to be moving its data centre, I knew that I had to be there for the actual move.

    When "IT Alignment with the Business" Isn't a Buzzword 05 December, 2008 09:45:00

    Need to justify your IT budget? Priority's Health's Krischa Winright believes that by using transparency and business alignment, the economic downturn can be a great opportunity for IT departments to maximize internal development talent.
    IT leaders were told to "do more with less" even before economic woes exacerbated the issue. Savvy managers have always kept their eye on the goal: demonstrating what IT can do for the business, so that it's not always viewed as a cost center. Last week, one IT manager explained her strategy.

    Project Governance Part 2: Project Governance as Leadership 24 November, 2009 10:16:00

    Leadership should be focused on protecting the project against the forces that destroy or lose it
    In the case of an 'egg and bacon breakfast' the chicken has contributed, but the pig has been committed.
